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 and sturdy fabrics, select Extra Heavy Soil Level for 
more wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate 
fabrics, select Light Soil Level for less wash time, if needed. 
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.
