WASHER SAFETY

After starting your washer, there will be a
short pause before the washer begins to
ll. The washer makes different sounds
and pauses briey throughout each cycle.
This is normal.
Next, three nozzles spray to evenly
saturate the load. Then a sensing step
occurs. The lling stops, and the agitator
moves the load for a very brief time.
The washer estimates how much more
water to add; then, lling resumes and
continues to sense until the right amount
of water is reached. Now washing begins.
How It Works
The following describes what to expect when using a washer with load-sensing technology.
WHAT’S NEW ABOUT YOUR LOAD-SENSING WASHER
Dry Load Correct Water Level for Load
Load Filling/Sensing
Load-Sensing determines the appropriate amount of water for each load based on your cycle and options selected for maximum
energy and water savings.
Although your new load-sensing washer may look the same as other washers, there are a few important steps that are required to
maximize your water and energy savings:
BEFORE STARTING THE WASHER:
Presort all of your laundry.
Add all of your garments and laundry products to the
washer and washer dispensers. See “Starting Your Washer”.
Do not interrupt the cycle or open the lid after starting
the washer. Opening the lid will reduce or eliminate water
savings. If the lid is opened during ll, the washer will add
more water to accommodate any additional load. If the
lid is opened after the washer has completed lling, the
washer will then ll to the highest level.
Water may not cover the top of the clothes and water level will
vary with size of load. This is normal for Auto Load-Sensing
washers. For these models, the water ll is optimized by the
system for best wash performance.
IMPORTANT: To save water and energy, DO NOT OPEN THE LID
after starting the washer.

Temperature Control
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform
water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and
cold water.
Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
Even in Cool wash, some warm water is let into the
washer to maintain a minimum temperature.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results follow the garment
label instructions, using the warmest wash water safe for
your fabric.
Extra Rinse
If you desire an extra rinse at the end of your regular cycle,
turn the Extra Rinse knob to ON.
On models without the Extra Rinse knob, choose a second
rinse by pushing the Cycle Control knob in and rotating it to
any of the “Rinse” cycle settings.
Fabric Softener
Use this option if you are using liquid fabric softener in the
dispenser. This option ensures that the softener is properly
distributed in the rinse cycle.
Fabric Select
Choose the appropriate Fabric Select setting for the type
of garments you are washing. Each setting has a speed
designed for different fabrics and soil levels. See “Cycle
Guide” for more information.
Cycle Control knob
Select the wash cycle best suited for your type of fabric.
See “Cycle Guide” for more details.
