CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
POWER BUTTON
Press to turn the washer ON. Pressing once while the
washer is on will cancel the current cycle, pressing twice
will turn the washer OFF.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Turn the Wash Cycle knob to select a cycle for your laundry
load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
TIME/STATUS DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
The Delay Wash indicator will light if you have set a delay
start to the cycle.
The Add a Garment indicator will let you know when it is still
possible to add items to the load.
When the cycle is complete, the DONE indicator will light
until the lid is opened.
ECO MONITOR
Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy
and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options, will
result in different energy and water usage. To use the Eco
Monitor, choose the best cycle for the load being washed,
then adjust temperature and spin speed options to improve
the energy usage within that cycle.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause
a cycle.
CYCLE SIGNAL BUTTON
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at
end of cycle. A louder signal is helpful in removing items as
soon as cycle is complete.
LID LOCK INDICATOR
This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be
opened. If you need to open the lid, press START/PAUSE.
The lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped.
This may take several minutes if the load was spinning at
high speed. Press START/PAUSE again to restart the cycle.

FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER SELECTOR
Press this button to set the Fabric Softener dispenser to
automatically add liquid fabric softener to the load at the
correct time.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes)
will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining
display and a different wash time will appear.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time, if
needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press
Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed. A lower
soil level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
WASH/RINSE TEMP
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform
water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and
cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water
safe for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even for cold wash settings, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
