TEMPERATURE
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 cool water wash, some warm water may be
added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.

SENSING
Sensing

When the START/Pause/Unlock
button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make
a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking
again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer
will use short, slow spins to estimate the load size.
These sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before
water is added to the load and you may hear the hum
of these spins. If the sensing light is on, then washer is
working properly. You will hear the motor turn the basket
in short pulses to thoroughly
wet the load. The washer
will then move the load briefly, pause to allow water
to soak in to the load, and resume adding water. This
process may repeat until the correct amount of water
has been added for the load. You may also hear water
flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the
load.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted.
The sensing light may also come on during the Soak
and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.

You will hear the motor and washplate 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.
