Select cycle options, if desired
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and
the washer will automatically sense the appropriate water
level for the load size and type.
Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting
and the washer will fill to the maximum water level.
NOTE: Cycle times will be longer due to extended fill times
when using the Deep Water Wash setting.
The Fabric Softener knob must be set to "Yes" when using
the fabric softener dispenser. This ensures that fabric
softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for
even distribution.

Press START/STOP
to begin wash cycle
Press START/STOP to start the wash cycle. When the cycle
has finished, the Cycle Complete indicator will light. Promptly
remove garments after cycle has completed to avoid odor,
reduce wrinkling, and prevent rusting of metal hooks, zippers,
and snaps.
Adding garment(s)
If you need to add one or two missed garments after the wash
has started, simply open the lid and this will pause the cycle.
After adding the garments simply close the lid and the cycle
will resume.
If instead, you press the Start/Stop button to pause the cycle
and then open the Lid to add garments, you will need to press
the Start/Stop button after closing the Lid to resume
the cycle.
IMPORTANT: If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes,
the water will pump out automatically.
Manual soak
If you would like to manually soak your garments at any time
during the wash portion of the cycle, press the Start/Stop
button and leave the lid closed. Once your desired soak time
has elapsed, press the Start/Stop button again to continue
the cycle. As long as the lid remains closed, your soak time
can be longer than 10 minutes. However, if the lid is opened
during the soak and remains open for more than 10 minutes,
the water will pump out automatically.

Washer Maintenance

WATER INLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the
Installation Instructions for more information.
