unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to
adjust the cycle time as well.

CYCLE MODIFIERS
6
The following options may be added to most cycles.
TEMPERATURE
Wash temperature 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.
SOIL LEVEL
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily
soiled items, select Extra Heavy Soil Level for more wash
time. For lightly soiled items, select Extra Light Soil Level
for less wash time.
Lighter soil level setting will help reduce tangling and
wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
Select the most suitable setting for your load.

CYCLE OPTIONS
7
The following options may be added to most cycles.
OXI
This washer is designed to dispense laundry boosters such
as oxygenated stain treaters and color-safe bleach at the
right time in the cycle for best cleaning performance. Do not
use laundry boosters and chlorine bleach in the same cycle.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse
to most cycles.
NOTE: If you want to Drain and Spin only, select the Rinse &
Spin cycle and then, touch to turn off the Extra Rinse option.
DEEP CLEAN
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to the
cycle.
AUDIO LEVEL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at
the end of cycle and key pad sounds. Touch once for low, a
second time for off, and a third time to loop back to high. A
higher signal is helpful in removing items as soon as cycle is
complete. Default setting is high.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
8
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 button is touched, 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.
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. You may also hear water flowing
through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Wash portion of
the cycle. This is normal.
