during the cycle. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced loads,
or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle
time, as well.

Wash Temp
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.
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.
