CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
LID LOCK
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning,
the lid will lock and the Lid Lock light will turn on.
This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot
be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press START/Pause/
Unlock. 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 again to resume
the cycle.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
When you select a cycle, its default modiers will light up.
Not all cycles, options, and modiers are available on all
models.
TEMP LEVEL
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.

SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
For most loads, use the Soil Level that is preset with
the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time,
if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press
SOIL LEVEL to select less wash time, if needed. Lower
Soil Level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.

CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up.
NOTE: Not all cycles, options, and modiers are available
on all models.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
Button Sounds:
Press and hold EXTRA RINSE for 3 seconds to turn the
button sounds on or off.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
The Cycle Status Lights shows 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 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, the 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
