Spin
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be
changed.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
Soil
The Soil 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 Time Remaining display.
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 through the detergent and
water for the selected time to help loosen tough stains.
