Control Panel and Features

SOIL LEVEL

Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily

soiled fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more wash time.

For lightly soiled fabrics, select Ex Light Soil Level for less

wash time. Lighter soil level setting will help reduce tangling

and wrinkling.

WASH TEMP

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.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on

your washer. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions

of cycles.

RINSE OPTIONS

The following options may be added to most cycle.

See “Cycle Guide” for additional details.

1 RINSE

This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.

2 RINSES

This option can be used to automatically add a

second rinse to most cycles.

1 RINSE with SOFTENER

This option must be selected if using fabric softener

during a cycle. It ensures that the water levels are correct

for optimal fabric softener distribution.

2 RINSES with SOFTENER

This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and

the 2 Rinses option.

PRESOAK

Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle to

help loosen tough stains. The washer will ll and then pause

to soak, and then begin the selected cycle.

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 and drain the

water from the washer.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR

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 button is pressed, the washer will

rst 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 briey 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 briey, 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. 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.

WASH

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.
