Cycle Settings

Appropriate wash and rinse water temperatures, final spin
speed and soil level settings for each cycle will
automatically be displayed when a cycle is selected. To
change the preset selections, press Temperature, Spin
Speed and Soil level to scroll to the desired setting. If a
setting is not appropriate for that cycle, the indicator will
not light up.
NOTE: Pressing any button during operation of the
cycle will produce flashing indicator
lights, beeping and "Err" will be displayed.
To change a setting after the cycle starts, press Start/
Pause before making the adjustment. Changes made to
the cycle will automatically be remembered each time
that cycle is selected in the future.
Wash / Rinse Water Temperatures
Select a wash water temperature according to fiber
content, colorfastness and soil level. For best results,
follow the care label instructions and use the hottest
water safe for the fabric. A cold water rinse saves energy
and reduces wrinkling.
Hot/Cold Heavily soiled white/colorfast cotton and
perm press loads.
Warm/Cold Normally soiled white/colorfast
cotton and perm press loads.
Warm/Warm Washable woolens.
Cold/Cold Lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits,
delicates and hand washables.

Auto Temp

Auto Temp improves washing performance. Water
temperature can be affected by the water heater setting
and its distance from the washer, water usage in other
parts of the home and seasonally low ground water
temperatures in some geographic areas. Because most
detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of 65°
F, select Auto Temp settings for regulated wash water
temperatures.

NOTE: Final rinse water temperatures are not

Spin Speed

Maximum, Fast, Medium and Slow speeds are available
for each cycle. The final spin speed and duration vary
from cycle to cycle.
Increasing spin speed will extract more water and
decrease drying time.
• Decreasing spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
Select Slow spin speed to gently spin items that
should be line dried.
Use No Spin to omit the final spin at the end of
the cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items
from the wash drum to drip dry or select Spin Only
to remove excess water at a more convenient
time.

Soil Level

Press Soil Level to increase or decrease the wash time.

Water Level

There is no need to select a water level. The washer
automatically adjusts the water level to the type and
size of wash load.

Cycle Options

To select or delete the Extra Rinse, Extended Spin or
Signal Volume, press Options until the blinking light
indicates the desired option. Then, while it is blinking,
press Select. The indicator will light when the option has
been selected. It will no longer be lighted when the option
has been deleted. To provide the best care for your laundry
items, not every option is available with every cycle.

Stain Clean

Use the Stain Clean option to add a 5-minute soak in the
middle of the wash portion of any cycle except Quick
and Hand Wash.

Extra Rinse

Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to
remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended
for heavily soiled loads or if household members have
sensitive skin. Extra Rinse occurs before the final rinse
when the liquid fabric softener is dispensed.
