CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
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, then 
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, the 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 into 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 the 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 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.

SOIL LEVEL
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily soiled 
items, select Extra Heavy Soil Level for more wash time. For 
lightly soiled items, select Light Soil Level for less wash time. 
Lighter soil level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling. 
WASH TEMP 
Wash Temp 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.  
 •  On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be 
cooler than your previous washer.
•  Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water may  
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.   
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your 
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. 
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions.
CYCLE OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycles. 
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second  rinse 
to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED
This option must be set to “On” if using fabric softener. 
START/PAUSE/UNLOCK BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the  
cycle and unlock the lid. Press and hold 3 sec to cancel a cycle.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes  
to unlock the lid. 
Press and hold 3 seconds to cancel a cycle and drain the 
water from the washer.
