Precise Fill is a feature found on some top-load washers that allows the washer to determine the optimum amount of water required to wash the items in the washer basket. Precise Fill senses the load during the water filling portion of the cycle to determine how much water is needed. This feature operates on the principle of customization, allowing users to adjust the water level according to their specific laundry needs.
To use Precise Fill properly, follow the loading instructions listed in the owners manual for your washer and keep the lid closed during the wash cycle. Here are the steps to use Precise Fill effectively:
-
Select the right amount of High Efficiency (HE) detergent. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended amount for your load. Pre-treat stains if needed. HE detergent is a low sudsing detergent. Contrary to other applications, suds in a washing machine can reduce cleaning performance.
-
Loosely load the clothing into the washer basket around of the outside of the basket. Pouring and/or compacting the load can lead to poor cleaning performance and increase wrinkling and tangling. Do not wrap items around the agitator or infusor as that can lead to increased wrinkling.
-
Close the lid. Select the settings for the wash cycle. If using liquid fabric softener, select the Deep Rinse (Select when adding Fabric Softener) option.
-
Press the START pad/button to start the washer. Please remember to keep the lid closed during the cycle.
It is normal for washers with Precise Fill to use less water than traditional washers, as the feature adjusts the water level according to the amount of laundry being washed.
