WASH TEMPS
1
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 may be cooler than a traditional
top-load washer.
• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
2 CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up.
NOTE: Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available
on all models. You may also add or remove options for each
cycle. Not all options can be used with all cycles, and some
are preset to work with certain cycles.
RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be set to "On" if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
The Cycle Status Lights shows 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 Lid button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make
a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking
again, this process may take 20 seconds to complete.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will
use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These sensing
spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to
the load and you may hear the hum of these spins. If the
sensing light is on, then washer is working properly. You will
hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly
wet the load. The washer will then move the load briefly,
pause to allow water to soak in to the load, and resume
adding water. This process may repeat until the correct
amount of water has been added for the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing phase. The
sensing process will start over when the washer is restarted.
The sensing light may also come on during the Soak &
Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal. To restart the
washer after the lid has been opened press start.
