AUTOMATIC LOAD SENSING
. This selection provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and
type of load placed in the unit.
- The washer will not fill with water during automatic load sensing if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine
is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.

providing effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is
normal for an Infusor
-equipped washer.
