Final Spin Speed
The High, Medium and Low spin speeds have been
developed for each cycle. The speeds will vary from cycle
to cycle. For example, High Speed in the Normal cycle is
much faster than High Speed in the Handwash cycle.
• Increasing spin speed will extract more water and
decrease drying time.
Decreasing spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
•
• HANG DRY is available with some cycles to gently spin
items that should not be machine dried.
Use NO SPIN to omit the final spin at the end of the
•
cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from
the wash drum to drip dry or select Drain/Spin to
