CONTROL PANEL & FEATURES

1 WATER LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small will
add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Super
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.
WASH CYCLE KNOB

TEMPERATURE
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.

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.
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.
