the cycle modifier buttons. Press the button for the desired
modifier until the Indicator light for the desired value Is lit.
The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the
type and size of wash load for best results and maximum

water levels may be much lower than expected. This Is
normal operation and cleaning/rinsing performance will not
be compromised.

results.
