Cold rinses use less energy, and the rinsetemperature depends on the cold water at the
aucet.

NOTE: The load detection routine only workdry clothes. Since the detection system is dethe WEIGHT of the load, it will be affected bunusually heavy articles in the load. For exama garment that is already wet that is loaded other items will cause the LOAD SIZE readinbe inaccurate.
If you do not desire to take advantage of thesize detection feature, simply load the desireamount of detergent and additives in the disand start the washer i n the usual manner.
LOAD SIZE SENSING SYSTEM
Example 1: If the washer has detected a small load size, thedisplay may only show one l ighted bar. Only a small amount ofdetergent should be used, because the amount of clothing andthe quantity of water that will be used is small.
Example 2: If the washer has detected a large load size,the display may show all four bars lighted. More detergentshould be used, because the amount of clothing and the
quantity of water that will be used is greater.
The LOAD SIZE display:
Detergentmanufacturersrecommendedamount for afull load
Recommendedamount forthis load
Detergentmanufacturersrecommendedamount for afull load
Recommendedamount forthis load
NOTE: Because the washer uses a very small amount ofwater, care should be taken when deciding how muchdetergent to use. Normal loads only need about half thedetergent manufacturers recommended amount. Thissaves detergent by using it in a more concentrated manner.However, for heavily soiled loads, additional detergent shouldbe added. Never exceed manufacturers recommendations!
IMPORTANT: I you press and hCUSTOM PROGRAM button or 3 seconwill overwrite any previously stored CPROGRAM.
