will disappear and automatically normal wash agitation will commence when there is sufficient water in the bowl. If you add more clothes to the washbowl after an auto sensing water level wash program has started, the machine will auto sense the new load and add extra water if needed. For auto water level, the amount of water the machine determines for a load is an optimised level. You can adjust the auto level to be a small amount above or below the optimised level if you consider the amount of water you normally get using the auto option is too high or too low. To do this, see ‘Customising the auto sensing water level’ on page 12.

continue to run for 10 seconds. Check the water level being used for your wash during the time the pump is running.
If you do not close the lid after 10 seconds, the pump will stop and the water level in the washbowl will begin to drop. If the lid is left open, the water level can drop a maximum 100mm as water drains from the inner to the outer bowl. The level of water may then appear too low for your wash load, but closing the lid will start the recirculation pump and the water level will return to the working level, ie. rise by a maximum 100mm.
