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.
Pretreatment or Liquid Bleach
To add either liquid pretreatment or liquid bleach to 
just 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.

instructions.

 Measure liquid pretreatment carefully, following 
instructions on the bottle.

 Before starting the washer, pour measured

 Before starting the washer, pour measured

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.
