Loading Recommendation

For best performance, it is recommended to load items by dropping them in loose heaps evenly around the washplate and agitator. Do not lay items length-wise around the washplate or agitator.

More Water When You Want It

AUTO-SENSING & DEEP FILL

  •  The washer will adjust the water level to the optimal amount for a High-Efficiency wash of the detected load size.
  • Touch “DEEP FILL” to add more water to the wash load.
  •  There are four levels of deep water “Auto”, “Medium”, “High”, and “Max Fill”.
  •  Not all levels are available on all cycles.

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 washer basket full of water as with your pastagitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line. WARNING: Do not wash water-resistantor water repellant-type clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in an abnormal vibrating and out-of balance condition that could result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.
