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.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up. Not
all cycles and options are available on all models.
TEMP
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 may 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.
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. Lighter
soil level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
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.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse
to most cycles.
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.

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/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, then lid will unlock briey 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 briey, pause to allow water to soak into
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 owing through the
dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Wash portion
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.
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 briey (short hum) to move the basket
while lling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric
Softener option was selected. Some cycles use spray
rinsing.
