CONTROL PANEL & FEATURES

LOAD SIZE
Select the setting most suitable for your load. Ex small
will add a low amount of water for smaller loads and
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 TEMPERATURE
2
Temperature Control 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.
Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your
■
previous washer provided.
Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm
■
water may be added to the washer to maintain
a minimum temperature.
FABRIC SOFTENER
3
This option can be added to most cycles and must be set
to YES if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that
fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for
even distribution.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
6
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/Unlock Lid button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, and the lid will unlock
briefly before locking again. The washer will use spins
to check for load balance. These spins may take several
minutes before water is added to the washer. You may
hear the hum of the spins before filling. This is normal.
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 Fabric
Softener knob was set to YES.
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.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.
CYCLE COMPLETE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid
will lock and the Lid Locked light will
turn on. When this light is on, the lid is
locked and cannot be opened. When
this light is blinking, the washer is
paused. When this light is off, the lid
can be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press
START/Pause/Unlock Lid. The lid will
unlock once the washer movement has
stopped. This may take several minutes
if the load was spinning at high speed.
Press START/Pause/Unlock Lid again to
resume the cycle.
