NOTE

not be drained out after the wash is completed. If you wish to drain the water, select a spin only cycle 

after the wash has completed.

•  If a rinse only cycle is selected, the water supply begins after detecting the load and the cycle will start. 

However the water will still fill to the selected water level even if there is water already in the tub.

•  If you do not select or change the 

Water Level

, the water level will be set automatically.
