Load Size/Water Level (on some models)
Add
detergent to the bottom of the basket and fabric softener to the dispenser (on some models) prior to loading clothes.
Loosely load items in the washer basket. Overloading may negatively impact wash performance. Adjust the load size
accordingly.
Make the load selection:
Precise Fill/Auto (on some models)
– For convenience, best performance and optimal efficiency, select
Precise Fill/Auto
for models so equipped. This selection
automatically provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the unit. Lid will be locked for the
duration of the load sensing process, which includes a brief spin period and a portion of the water fill.
– If you prefer to manually select the water level, select
Low/Small
through
Max/Super
(or
Large
on some models). While
Precise Fill/
Auto
is best for most loads and general washing, you may want to manually select the load size for specialty items such as bulky,
lightweight comforters or pillows, where you want to ensure a larger water level is applied. Manual load size selections should be made
for wet items placed in the washer, such as soaked towels or garments.
– The washer will not fill with water when
Precise Fill/Auto
is selected if the lid is opened. When the lid is closed the
machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.
NOTE:
This is a high-efficiency washing machine. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may
notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal.

Start/Pause
Press
Start
to begin the cycle.
NOTE:
If the lid is closed, the lid will lock only during the load sensing portion of the cycle (when
the
Precise Fill/Auto
selection is made or models which do not have a load size selection) and during spin portions of the cycle.
Lid will unlock after load sensing and spin.
Pressing
Pause
will unlock the lid (if locked at that time), pause the cycle and the
Pause
indicator light will blink.
To continue the cycle, press
Start
again. If water remains in the machine, select the
Drain & Spin
cycle to drain basket and spin
water out of the washer basket.
NOTE:
Machine will automatically cancel and drain when water is present and the lid is left
open for 15 minutes or the unit is left in a paused state for 24 hours with the lid closed. Select cycle and press
Start
to
begin new cycle.

Wash, Rinse
or
Spin
portion of the cycle.
If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the
Spin
light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle
and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the
out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load
and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly
in the wash basket and run a
Drain & Spin
cycle.
