Manual water level selection
The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that can be used to help you select the correct water level. Select the correct water level by using the mark nearest to the top of the load.
The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond exactly to the level of the water. They indicate the level of dry clothes suitable for the water level.
Your Smart Drive™ may occasionally add water during agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air trapped in the garments. The medium/high and medium/low settings are available on EXCELLENCE model only.

Your Smart Drive™ can automatically select the appropriate water level for the load.
1Place your clothes in the machine.
2Select the wash cycle (select AUTO if not automatically selected).
3Press START/PAUSE.
During fill, the machine will pause occasionally to sense the water level. The machine will check if the water level is correct by using a series of two different agitate strokes. A slow stroke to sense the load and an agitate stroke to mix the load. (This may take over a minute.) If it detects that the water level is not high enough, it will fill with more water and check the level.
When washing an unusual load, eg large bulky garments or pillows, we recommend you manually select the water level and select the HAND WASH cycle (EXCELLENCE model) or the DELICATE cycle (PRIDE model).
Manually select the water level if there is already water in the bowl.
