Getting started
Water Level
D
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:
Auto
– For convenience, best performance and optimal efficiency, select Auto 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 brief spin period and a portion of the water fill.
– If you prefer to manually select the water level, select Low through Max. While Auto 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 Auto 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.
