Control- Features
ULTRA
CLEAN Maximizes detergent efficiency by adding water in steps and slowly diluting
the detergent to the standard level.
The machine partially fills, (appx 75%) then begins to agitate for approximately 30
seconds. Pauses and continues fill for about 10 seconds, then agitates. It repeats
this process, in varying degrees and stages, 4 times before the tub is at the correct
water level and the machine completes the wash cycle. Display alternates between
UC and time remaining. (It is the only cycle with a pre-programmed 2nd rinse)
TEMP Warm setting will highlight both COLD and HOT indicator lights
HEAVY
DUTY Adds 5 minutes to selected wash cycle.

Control- Features
LOAD SENSING When the control is first powered on, it defaults to “LOAD SENSING”
fill. (No “LOAD” size LED lights are lit at this time) The customer can
change any of the TEMP, OPTIONS, or CYCLES selection and load
sensing remains active. If the customer selects a specific LOAD size
manually, LOAD SENSING is deactivated and the pressure sensor fills
accordingly. If the customer leaves load sensing active and presses
the START pad, the machine calculates the load while all of the load
size lights alternate turning on. Once calculated the appropriate load
size LED will be displayed. (The Pulsator rotates in both directions
approximately 3 times to calculate load weight.)

Load Sensing
Weight Recognition Function (Load sensing)
• The weight recognition function measures the washing load before water is
supplied.
• The weight recognition function is canceled when water level key is pressed prior to
the completion of weight recognition function.
• If the current water level is above the lowest level at the beginning of weight
sensing, it is automatically set as a high level.
• If you change wash cycle after sensing weight, the high water level is automatically
selected regardless of the water level decided by the sensing of weight.
