RINSE OPTIONS
The following options may be selected for most cycles.
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.
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.

SOIL LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily
soiled and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy for more wash
time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light for
less wash time. A lighter soil-level setting will help reduce
tangling and wrinkling.
PRESOAK
5
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.
If your washer does not have this option, press the Start/
Pause button to pause the cycle for soaking/presoaking. To
restart the cycle, simply press the Start/Pause button again.
NOTE: Keep the lid closed for the soaking period. If the
lid is left open for more than 10 minutes, the cycle will be
canceled and water will drain out of washer.
6 START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the
cycle and unlock the lid.

PROGRESS INDICATOR LIGHTS
7
The progress indicator lights show the status of a cycle.
At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds
or pauses different from traditional washers.
SENSING FILL
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
You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor
sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. Wash
time is determined by the selected soil level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the
washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the
motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket
while filling.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal based on the selected cycle.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. For
best results, remove the load promptly.
LOCKED
The lid-lock feature allows for higher spin
speeds. When lit, the lid is locked and
cannot be opened without pausing the cycle.
When the light is off, the lid can be opened.
To open the lid after it has been locked,
press START/Pause. The lid will unlock
once washer movement has stopped. This
may take several minutes if the load
was spinning at high speed. Press START/Pause while the
lid is closed to resume the cycle.
NOTE: Holding the START/Pause Button will cancel the
cycle and cause the washer to drain.
Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing process
will start over when the washer is restarted.
