Fabric Softener Set this option when adding fabric softener to the washer or to select the enhanced Power Rinse. NOTE: Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls with this washer. They do not work correctly in high efficiency washers. Delay Wash On some models, as the Delay Wash pad is repeatedly pressed, the delay time sets to 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours, and back to clear (0 minutes). On other models, as the Delay Wash pad is repeatedly pressed, the delay time sets to 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and back to clear (0 hours).

This selection automatically provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the unit. NOTE: The washer will not fill with water when PreciseFill is selected if the lid is opened. - If you prefer to manually select the water level, select Small through Super. While PreciseFill is best for most loads and general washing, you may want to manually select the load size for specialty items such as bulky, lightweight comforters or pillows, where you want to ensure a larger water level is applied. Manual load size selections should be made for wet items placed in the washer, such as soaked towels or garments. E Power Press to "wake up" the display.

If you change settings, the number of eMonitor lights will decrease (or increase) to indicate decreased or increased energy efficiency settings. H Display (on some models) The display shows the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle. NOTE: The cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill.
