HOW TO USE
24
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.
LOAD SIZE SENSING SYSTEM
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/
dditive 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.

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.
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 exceed manufacturer
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.
