CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
TEMPERATURE
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 what your previous
washer provided.
•
Even in a cool water wash, some warm water may be
added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.
CYCLE OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycle.
See “Cycle Guide” for additional details.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be set to “Yes” if using fabric softener
during a cycle.
ECOBOOST™ option
The EcoBOOST™ option allows you to increase your
energy savings on your wash cycles. When this option is
used, the wash cycle will use slightly cooler wash water
than the selected temperature.

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.
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. You may also hear water
flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE:
Avoid opening lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Soak and Wash
portions of the cycle. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water.
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather
than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,
this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The
motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle.
The wash time is determined by the selected soil level.
