CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
1
1 SOIL LEVEL
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily
soiled and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more
wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics,
select Ex Light Soil Level for less wash time, if needed.
Lighter soil level setting will help reduce tangling and
wrinkling.
WASH TEMP
2
Wash Temp 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.
• On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be
cooler than your previous washer.
• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm
water may be added to the washer to maintain a
minimum temperature.

START/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause
the cycle and unlock the lid.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several
minutes to unlock the lid. Press and hold 3 seconds
to cancel a cycle.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
7
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.
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, this process may take 20 seconds to complete.
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.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing phase. 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.
To restart the washer after the lid has been opened
press start.
