LOAD SIZE

Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small will add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Ex Large will add the most amount of water for large or bulky loads. Items need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning performance and may increase wrinkling and tangling.

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. Knob does not advance during the progress of the cycle, see cycle status lights for each stage of the process. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

RINSE OPTIONS

The following options may be added to most cycle. See “Cycle Guide” for additional details.

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.

1 RINSE with SOFTENER

This option must be selected if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.

2 RINSES with SOFTENER

This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the 2 Rinses option.

5START/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the cycle and unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock the lid.

6CYCLE 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 different from traditional washers.

FILL

When the START/Pause button is pressed, the washer will fill to the selected water level. If the lid is closed when the washer is done filling the lid will lock and the washer will begin operation.

If the lid is open when the water stops entering the washer, the cycle will not begin until the lid has been closed and the START/Pause button is pressed. If the cycle has not been started within 10 minutes of the water filling the washer, the washer will pump out the water.

NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing phase. The sensing process will start over when the washer is restarted. The FILL 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 agitator moving the load. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The 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. Fabric softener will be added if the 1 Rinse with Softener or 2 Rinses with Softener option was selected.

Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and spinning out wash water, the washer will continue to spin and spray in rinse water for the entire rinse time.
