CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
PROGRESS LIGHTS
The Progress 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
fill to an initial water level and begin sensing to determine
the load size. The washer will then continue filling to the
appropriate water level based on load size and proceed to
Wash.
If the lid is opened or the START/Pause button is pressed,
the cycle will pause. Closing the lid and/or pressing the
START/Pause button will resume the cycle. If the cycle
remains paused with the lid open for 10 minutes, the washer
will pump out the water.
WASH
During the first stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water will
partially fill the washer and begin to move the load. It is
normal to have the sensing light on during this stage. You
will hear the agitator rotate followed by a several second
pause. This process will repeat for several minutes, allowing
the entire load to become saturated. The lower water
level combined with HE detergent at this stage allows for
concentrated cleaning. It is normal for the load to be above
the water line during this stage. At the beginning of the
second stage, the washer will add water to the correct level
based on the load size. You will hear the agitator increase
speed during this stage of the wash cycle. The motor sounds
may change at different stages in the wash cycle.
6 SOIL LEVEL
Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily soiled
and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more wash time.
For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light Soil Level
for less wash time. A 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 cycles on your washer. See
“Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

EXTRA RINSE

to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED

START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the
cycle and unlock the lid.
