Wash System with Deep Fill Wash Model

For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate and agitator.

AUTO SENSING & DEEP FILL

■■ The washer will adjust the water level to the optimal amount for a High Efficiency wash of the detected load size.

■■ Touch “DEEP FILL” to add more water to the wash load.

■■ There are four levels of deep water “Auto”, “Medium”, “High”, “Max Fill”.

■■ Not all levels available on all cycles.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the items will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that more items should be added. IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.
