CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING 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. Tightly
packed or unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause
the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
POWER/CANCEL BUTTON
Press to turn the washer ON or OFF.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle. Be sure all desired Modifiers
and Options have been selected. Press START/PAUSE once
to unlock the lid and add a garment. Press START/PAUSE
again to complete the cycle from where it was stopped.
The lid must be closed for the washer to start.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save
energy. Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on
all models.
WASH TEMP
Select a water temperature based on the type of load
you are washing. Use the warmest wash water suitable
for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.
All cycles use cold rinses. Cold rinses may help with
wrinkling and save energy.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F
(15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be
difficult to remove.
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.
n
Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but
may increase wrinkling in your load.
n Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will
leave your load more damp.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As
you press Soil Level, 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. Lower Soil Level settings
will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not all
cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.
WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE
Use this option to save water by using a spray rinse instead
of a deep water rinse. This option is the default setting on
some cycles, and selectable on other cycles. When using
fabric softener, always select the FABRIC SOFTENER
button, or select EXTRA RINSE; both of these options
will dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse
to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
CYCLE SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that
sounds at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off
(no indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items
as soon as cycle is complete.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
To turn Button Sounds either Off or On:
Button Sounds can be turned off or on by holding down the
Cycle Signal button for 5 seconds. The washer will make a
single short beep/tone when complete. This function can be
completed at any time during the washer’s operation, but not
in STANDBY.
When the Button Sounds function is set to Off:
n
Invalid key selection tones (3 short beeps/tones) will still
remain active, but will sound at the “SOFT” volume level.
n All Valid key selection tones (1 short beep/tone) are disabled
including Power/Cancel and End of Cycle signal, as well as
the chime that is produced when turning the cycle knob past
NORMAL.
NOTE: The chosen setting will remain in effect through
a power loss.
