LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the
Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed (for times longer than 60
minutes, hours will be displayed, followed by minutes). Factors
such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may
affect the time shown in the display during the cycle. Tightly
packing garments, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
Touch the desired setting along the right 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, follow the
garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold
rinse.

Soil Level
The Soil Level setting (wash time) is preset for each wash
cycle. For most loads, use this preset soil level. When
you change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or
decrease in the Estimated Cycle Time display.
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.
DELAY START
Use + and – to delay the start of the wash cycle by up
to 9 hours. To turn off Delay Start, use + and – to set the
delay time to “0,” or touch POWER/CANCEL.

features on the washer. Not all options are available
on all models.
Extra Rinse
Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.
Control Lock

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,
