WASH

You will hear the impeller moving the load. Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water. Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. 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. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.

CYCLE GUIDE

SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

DONE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results.

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed.

Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
