CYCLE MODIFIERS
When you select a cycle, its default modifiers will light up.
Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all
models.
TEMP LEVEL
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 may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even in a Cool water wash, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with
the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time,
if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil
Level to select less wash time, if needed. Lower soil level
setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPiN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.

CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up.
Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on
all models.
EXTRA RINSE

rinse to most cycles.
Button Sounds:
Press and hold Extra Rinse for 3 seconds to turn the
button sounds on or off.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR

The Cycle Status Lights shows the progress of a cycle. At
each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses
that are different from traditional washers.
SENSING
sensing wash rinse spin done
When the START button is pressed, the washer will first
perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You will
hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn, and the lid
will unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will
slowly spin the dry load to estimate the load size, and
begin adding water. The washer will then move the load
briefly, pause to allow water to soak in to the load, and
resume adding water. This process may repeat until the
correct amount of water has been added for the load.
You may also hear water flowing through the dispenser,
adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: The sensing light may also come on during
the Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
