LOAD SIZE SENSINg SYSTEM
At the beginning of the cycle, the washer tumbles
the load and detects the weight of the
clothes. The display will indicate the
approximate load size in the LOAD SIZE
display. This allows you to adjust the
amount of detergent and other additives for best
results and improved efficiency.
The LOAD SIZE display:
Example 1: If the washer has detected a small load size, the
display may only show one lighted bar. Only a small amount of
detergent should be used, because the amount of clothing and
the quantity of water that will be used is small.
To use Automatic Load Size Sensing:
Load the washer, select the desired cycle and
options, and then start the cycle by pressing the
START/PAUSE button.
The washer will tumble for a short time to detect
the size of the load. After the washer detects
the load size, the washer will show the detected
size in the LOAD SIZE display for 10 seconds
before it continues with the cycle.
During the 10 second delay in step three, press
the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
Fill the detergent and additive compartments
of the detergent drawer with detergent/additive
amounts based on the load size the machine has
detected. Following these guidelines can save
detergent.
Press the START/PAUSE button again to resume
the cycle.
To check the load size during the wash portion of the
cycle, press and hold the RINSE+SPIN button for 3
seconds. The LOAD SIZE display will be activated for
10 seconds.
NOTE: The load detection routine only works with dry
clothes. Since the detection system is detecting the
WEIGHT of the load, it will be affected by unusually
heavy articles in the load. For example, a garment
that is already wet that is loaded with other items will
cause the LOAD SIZE reading to be inaccurate.
If you do not desire to take advantage of the load size
detection feature, simply load the desired amount of
detergent and additives in the dispenser and start the
washer in the usual manner.

Example 2: If the washer has detected a large load size, the
display may show all four bars lighted. More detergent should
be used, because the amount of clothing and the quantity of
water that will be used is greater.

NOTE: Because the washer uses a very small amount of water,
care should be taken when deciding how much detergent
to use. Normal loads only need about half the detergent
manufacturer's recommended amount. This saves detergent by
using it in a more concentrated manner. However, for heavily
soiled loads, additional detergent should be added. Never
