About this manual
These operating and installation instructions may apply to more than one model of washer. Illustrations used may show details that differ from your particular model. Read your user manual. It contains valuable information about safety, installation and operation of your new appliance.
This can save you time, make it easier to correctly install and use your washer, and improve your overall satisfaction with your new appliance.
Special features
▯Load adjust matches the water and power consumption to each cycle according to the amount of laundry sensed in the drum and the type of fabric. The load adjust function runs automatically to keep energy and water consumption as low as possible. The water level sensor ensures the water level is correct for the laundry and the cycle selected.
▯The automatic unbalanced load detection system spins the laundry several times to ensure even distribution.
If the laundry is unevenly distributed, the spin speed is reduced, or the laundry may not be spun for reasons of safety.
In the Wool cycle, the spin cycle is attempted only twice in order to prevent felting.
