Spin
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be
changed.
n Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
n
Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
Soil
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. When
you change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or
decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, use the Soil setting to select more wash time. For
lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the Soil setting to
select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help
reduce tangling and wrinkling.
Presoak
Touch to add a Presoak time of your choice to a wash
cycle. Items will gently tumble thorugh the detergent and
water for the selected time to help loosen tough stains.
OPTIONS
Touch to activate additional wash options or additional
features on the washer. Not all options are available on all
models.
Adjust Delay Time
Touch – or + to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to
12 hours.
FanFresh
® Option
The FanFresh ® option will periodically tumble the load
after the end of the cycle for up to 12 hours while the
integrated fan circulates air through the washer to
reduce humidity. To turn on the FanFresh ® option, touch
FanFresh. If, however, the FanFresh ® option is turned on,
it will stay on for all future cycles until turned back
off – the washer remembers the last on/off status set.
To turn off the FanFresh ® option, touch FanFresh.
You may also activate the FanFresh ® option without
running a cycle by touching and holding POWER for
one second, then touching and holding FanFresh for
3 seconds, then touching and holding START for
3 seconds.
To turn off the FanFresh
® option when it is running,
touch POWER.
NOTE: The door will lock while the FanFresh
® option
is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door,
touch POWER.
Extra Rinse
Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.
NOTE: Extra Rinse can also be used to turn on the
Drum Light. Simply touch and hold EXTRA RINSE for
3 seconds.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to turn on or off the signal that sounds
at end of cycle.
To turn off the tones that sound when a setting is
touched: Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about
3 seconds. Repeat to turn them on.
Control Lock
Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls
to avoid unwanted changes or operation. Touch and
hold 3 seconds again to unlock. For each second
CONTROL LOCK is held down, the display will count
down one second: you will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.”
You may still touch START to pause the cycle, or touch
POWER to turn off the washer.
ADDITIONAL OPTION
Drum Light
Touch and hold EXTRA RINSE for 3 seconds to turn on the
Drum Light.
ECOBOOST ™ OPTION
Touch to activate the EcoBoost ™ option. The EcoBoost ™
option provides additional energy savings through reduced
hot water usage and maintains cleaning performance by
lengthening the wash time on some cycles.
STEAM CLEAN OPTION
The Steam Clean option adds additional soak and wash time
to many cycles to help remove tough stains, as well as a
steam boost for added cleaning power. An integrated heater
helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. See the “Cycle
Guide” for cycles that allow the Steam Clean option.
LOAD & GO ™ DRAWER
The Load & Go ™ drawer gives you the convenience of
automatically adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach,
and liquid fabric softener to the wash load at the proper
time. See “Using the Load & Go ™ Drawer” for information
on using the dispenser drawer.
Load & Go ™ Cartridge
Each dispenser cartridge holds up to 18.5 oz.
(550 ml) of liquid HE detergent, enough for up to 36 †
loads, depending on cycle and detergent concentration.
The cartridge fits into compartment (B) of the dispenser
drawer for convenient loading.
n Change detergent concentration setting
if detergent used is different than factory
preset of 2x concentration. See “About
Detergent Concentration.”
n Change water hardness setting if desired
level is different than factory preset of
Normal.
Powdered High Efficiency “HE” detergent
compartment
This compartment holds powdered HE detergent
for a single load.
Liquid fabric softener compartment
Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener
at the optimum time in the cycle.

† The number of loads will vary, depending on detergent concentration,
load size, cycle used, and soil level. The maximum capacity of up to
36 loads requires use of 6x concentration detergent.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component failure and, over
time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing
and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for
the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not
re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
