AUTO SENSING AND DEEP

FILL

■

The washer will adjust the water level to the

optimal amount for a High Efficiency wash of

the detected load size.

■

Press Deep Fill to automatically add more water

to your wash cycle.

■

It is recommended to use BULKY ITEMS cycle

with Deep Fill option for loads where maximum

water level is desired.

■

Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill

duration when using the Deep Fill option.

A cycle guide for your washer can

be found online at

.

The document

will help identify which cycle to

choose for various load types as

well as the default cycle options.

For example we recommend using

the NORMAL cycle with Warm

water for cottons, linens and mixed-

garment loads.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE

CLEANING WITH LESS WATER

The washer has been designed and optimized to

provide a thorough cleaning using less water to

conserve energy and resources.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the

level of the items will settle in the basket. This is

normal, and does not indicate that more items

should be added.

IMPORTANT:

You will not see a full basket of

water as with older, less efficient washing machines.

It is normal for some of the load to be above the

water line.

■

Filter must be installed in the agitator during the cycle to capture hair.

■

Filter is intended to be emptied between each cycle. If filter is not emptied between loads then collected material will build up and

decrease the efficiency of the filter in future cycles.

■

Filter may collect hair whenever it is installed but it works best when the Pet Pro modifier is turned on.

USING THE PET HAIR FILTER

■

Grab the cap and twist to unlock. Remove the filter and empty collected material out of the filter cup.

■

Reinsert the Filter and twist to lock before beginning the next cycle.
