CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

WATER LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small will
add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Super Plus
will add the most amount of water for large or bulky loads.
Items need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor
cleaning performance, and may increase wrinkling and
tangling.
TEMPERATURE
Temperature 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 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 cycles on your washer.
Knob does not advance during the progress of the cycle,
see cycle status lights for each stage of the process. See
“Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option can be added to most cycles and must be set to
“YES” if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that
fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for
even distribution.
START/PAUSE/UNLOCK 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 for 3 seconds to cancel a
cycle.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
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 fill to the selected water level. If the lid is
closed when the machine is done filling the lid will lock
and the machine will begin operation.
If the lid is open when the water stops entering the
machine, the cycle will not begin until the lid has been
closed and the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed.
If the cycle has not been started within 10 minutes of
the water filling the washer, the washer will pump out the
water.
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.
WASH
You will hear the agitator moving the load. 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 briefly (short hum) to move the basket
while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric
Softener-Yes option was selected.
Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and
spinning out wash water, the washer will continue
to spin and spray in rinse water for the entire rinse time.
