CYCLE OPTIONS

The following options may be added to most cycle.

See “Cycle Guide” for additional details.

DEEP CLEAN

This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to the cycle.

FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED

This option must be set to “Yes” if using fabric softener.

EXTRA RINSE

This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to most cycles.

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.

WASH CYCLE

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

Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

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. 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 Wash portion of the cycle. This is normal.

WASH

You will hear the 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.

RINSE

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. Always select “Yes” for Fabric softener to be added when using the Fabric Softener Added option. Some cycles will use a spray rinse.

SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

DONE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.

Remove the load promptly for best results.

LID LOCKED

To allow for proper load sensing and spinning, the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn on. This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be opened.

If you need to open the lid, press

START/Pause/Unlock. The lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped.

This may take several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Press START/

Pause/Unlock again to resume the cycle.

Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing process will start over when the washer is restarted.
