Not all features and options are available on all models. 

 Appearance may vary.

1

WATER LEVEL

Set the Water Level knob to an Auto Sensing setting 

and the washer will fill to a level that ensures the load 

engages the agitator. From this point, the electronic 

control will sense the load and determine if additional 

water is needed.
Set the Water Level knob to a Deep Water Wash setting 

and the washer will fill to the maximum water level. 

NOTES:

 

 

Cycle times will be longer due to extended fill times 

when using the Deep Water Wash setting.

 

Deep Water Wash settings are not available in the 

Normal Regular cycle mode. Selecting the Normal 

Regular cycle with a Deep Water Wash setting will 

result in auto sensing of the water level.

2

WASH TEMPERATURE

Wash 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.

NOTES:

 

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. All rinses are cold.

3

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer. 

See the “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

4

START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID 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.

5

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 your previous washer.

SENSING/FILL

When the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed, 

and the Water Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the 

washer will fill and begin sensing to determine load 

size and balance.
Once sensing is complete, the washer will fill to the 

appropriate level for the detected load size and then 

begin the wash phase of the cycle.

NOTE:

 Sensing and wash phases will be paused by 

opening the unlocked lid. Close the lid to resume the 

cycle. If the lid is left open for more than 10 minutes,  

the washer will cancel the cycle and pump out the 

water. The lid will lock after the wash phase to begin 

the initial spinout and remain locked for the remainder 

of the cycle.
