LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the
Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed. Factors such as load size,
wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown
in the display. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced loads, or
excessive suds may cause the washer to lengthen the cycle time,
as well.
Touch the desired setting on the right side of the display to adjust.
See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all
settings are available with all cycles.
Temperature
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle.
You may also select a wash temperature based on the type
of fabric and soils being washed. For best results, use the
warmest wash water safe for your fabric, following the garment
label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.
Soil Level
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 Cycle Time 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 Level setting to select more wash time. For lightly soiled
and delicate fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select less
wash time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling
and wrinkling.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.
n
Higher spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
n Lower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load
more damp.

The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch
the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.
n
At cycle completion, your setting and option choices will be remembered for your next use of that cycle. However, if power is lost to the
washer, the settings and options will go back to the factory defaults.
