CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
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 will be cooler than a traditional
top-load washer.
• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycles.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED
This option must be selected to “Yes” if adding fabric
softener. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the
correct time in the rinse cycle for even distribution.
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.
START/PAUSE/UNLOCK BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the cycle
and unlock the lid. If the washer has been paused the “wash”
status light will flash. To restart the selected cycle press START
again.
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 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 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 wash portions of
the cycle. This is normal. To restart the washer after the lid
has been opened press start.
