Load Size (on some models)
Add detergent to the bottom of the basket and fabric softener to the dispenser (on some models) prior to loading clothes.
Loosely load items in the washer basket. Overloading may negatively impact wash performance. Adjust the load size accordingly.
Make the load selection:
Precise Fill (on some models)
– For convenience, best performance and optimal efficiency, select Precise Fill for models so equipped. This selection automatically provides the
correct amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the unit. Lid will be locked for the duration of the load sensing process,
which includes a series of short spins and a portion of the water fill.
– If you prefer to manually select the water level, select Small through Super. While Precise Fill is best for most loads and general washing, you
may want to manually select the load size for specialty items such as bulky, lightweight comforters or pillows, where you want to ensure a larger
water level is applied. Manual load size selections should be made for wet items placed in the washer, such as soaked towels or garments.
– The washer will not fill with water when Precise Fill is selected if the lid is opened. When the lid is closed the machine is able to
begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.
NOTE: This is a high-efficiency washing machine. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may notice that the
water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal.
