CONTROL PANEL & FEATURES 1 2 3 4 1 2 6 5 4 6 5 Not all features and options are available on all models. Appearance may vary. 1 LOAD SIZE Select the setting most suitable for your load. Ex small or Small (depending on model) will add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Large will add the most amount of water for large or bulky loads. Items need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning performance, and may increase wrinkling and tangling. 2 WASH TEMPERATURE Temperature 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. 4 WASH CYCLE KNOB Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer. Knob does not advance during the progress of the cycle, see cycle status lights for each stage of the process. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles. 5 START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID BUTTON Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the cycle and unlock the lid. NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle. 6 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. ■■ Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature. 3 FABRIC SOFTENER (on some models) This option can be added to most cycles and must be set to YES if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution. FILL When the START/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed, the washer will fill to the selected water level. If the lid is closed when the machine is done filling the lid will lock and the machine will begin operation. If the lid is open when the water stops entering the machine, the cycle will not begin until the lid has been closed and the START/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed. If the cycle has not been started within 10 minutes of the water filling the washer, the washer will pump out the water. 4
