Automatic Load Sensing
This provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the unit. The washer will not fill with water during
automatic load sensing if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load
size.
NOTE: This is a high efficiency washing machine with Infusor™ wash action. This system requires less water while providing effective
cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an Infusor™-equipped
washer.
Single Use Pretreatment or Liquid
Bleach
To add either liquid pretreatment or liquid bleach
to the next load, pour only one of them in the right
front compartment and press the Pretreat/Bleach
button either once to light the pretreat light (above
button) or twice to light the bleach light (below
button). The liquid will be added at the optimal time
(pretreatment - early or bleach – late) in the wash
cycle.
Pretreatment option
1 Check clothing care labels for special
instructions.
2 Measure liquid pretreatment carefully, following
instructions on the bottle.
3 Before starting the washer, pour measured
amount of pretreatment directly into the
compartment.
Bleach option
The water fill
dilutes liquid
chlorine bleach as the washer fills for the wash
cycle.
1 Check clothing care labels for special
instructions.
2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following
instructions on the bottle.
„ Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto clothes or into the wash
basket.
„ Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach
compartment.
3 Before starting the washer, pour measured
amount of bleach directly into bleach
compartment. Avoid splashing or over-filling
dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered
bleach, add it into the wash basket with your
detergent.
„  Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia
or acids such as vinegar and/or rust
remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas
which may cause death.
