- Faucet will automatically shut off after 10 minutes or when max water level is reached.
- Water will automatically drain if water level becomes too high or if the lid is left open for 10 minutes.

MORE WATER WHEN YOU WANT IT
Auto Sensing & Deep Water Wash
- The washer has been designed and optimized to provide a thorough cleaning using less water to conserve energy and resources. The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the optimal amount for a High Efficiency wash of the detected load size.
- Touch “DEEP WATER” to add more water to the wash load.

- 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 full basket of water as with older, less efficient washing machines. It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.
