Control Panel and Features

1
SOIL LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily
soiled and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more
wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light
Soil Level for less wash time. A lighter soil-level setting will
help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
2
WASH TEMP
Wash Temp 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.
On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may
■
be cooler than your previous washer.
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 cycles on your washer.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.

RINSE OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycles.
See "Cycle Guide" for additional details.
1 RINSE
This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.
2 RINSES
This option can be used to automatically add a
second rinse to most cycles.
1 RINSE with SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that the water levels are correct
for optimal fabric softener distribution.
2 RINSES with SOFTENER
This option turns on both the fabric softener and
the 2 Rinses option.
5
PRESOAK
Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle
to help loosen tough stains. The washer will fill and then
alternate between a soak and a gentle agitation before
beginning the selected cycle.

START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the
cycle and unlock the lid.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several
minutes to unlock the lid.

PROGRESS INDICATOR LIGHTS
The Progress 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 button is pressed, the washer will
fill to an initial water level and begin sensing to determine
the load size. The washer will then continue filling to the
appropriate water level based on load size and proceed to
Wash.
If the lid is opened or the START/Pause button is pressed,
the cycle will pause. Closing the lid and/or pressing the
START/Pause button will resume the cycle. If the cycle
remains paused with the lid open for 10 minutes, the
washer will pump out the water.
WASH
During the first stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water will
partially fill the washer and begin to move the load. It is
normal to have the sensing light on during this stage. You
will hear the agitator rotate followed by a several second
pause. This process will repeat for several minutes,
allowing the entire load to become saturated. The lower
water level combined with HE detergent at this stage
allows for concentrated cleaning. It is normal for the
load to be above the water line during this stage. At the
beginning of the second stage, the washer will add water
to the correct level based on the load size. You will hear
the agitator increase speed during this stage of the wash
cycle. The motor sounds may change at different stages
in the wash cycle.
