CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

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. All rinses are cold.

CYCLE OPTIONS

The following options may be added to most cycles.

ONE RINSE

Provides basic rinsing for any cycle.

TWO RINSES

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. It

ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time

in the rinse for even distribution.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer.

See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

START/PAUSE/Unlock Lid button

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the

cycle and unlock the lid.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes

to unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a

cycle.

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each

stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that

are dierent from traditional washers.

SENSING

When the START/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed,

the washer will rst 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 briey 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 briey,

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 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 and Wash

portions of the cycle. This is normal. To restart the washer

after the lid has been opened press START.

WASH

You will hear the motor and agitator moving the load.

During the rst stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water will

partially ll the washer and then begin to move the load. It

is normal to have the sensing light on during this stage. You

will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a several second

pause. This process will repeat for several minutes, allowing

the entire load to become saturated. The lower water

level combined with HE detergent at this stage allows for

concentrated cleaning. Concentrated cleaning delivers the

detergent directly to the soils. It is normal for the load to

be above the water line during this stage. At the beginning

of the second stage, the washer will add water to the

correct level based on the load size. You will hear the

agitator move quicker during this stage of the wash cycle.

The motor sounds may change at dierent stages in the

wash cycle.
