CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

1
1 WATER LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small will add
a low amount of water for smaller loads and Super Plus will
add the most amount of water for large or bulky loads. Items
need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning
performance, and may increase wrinkling and tangling.
TEMPERATURE
2
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils
being washed. For best results and following the garment label
instructions, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your previous
washer provided.
• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.

WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
4 FABRIC SOFTENER
This option can be added to most cycles and must be set to
"YES" if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that
fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for
even distribution.

6 CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each
stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are
different from traditional washers.
SENSING
When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed, the
washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, and the lid will unlock
briefly before locking again. The washer will use spins to
check for load balance. These spins may take several
minutes before water is added to the washer. You may
hear the hum of the spins before filling. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor
sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The
wash time is determined by the selected soil level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling.
Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener-Yes
option was selected.
Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and spinning
out wash water, the washer will continue to spin and spray
in rinse water for the entire rinse time.
