CYCLE SETTINGS

WATER TEMP
Water Temp selects the water tempera-
ture combination for the selected cycle.
Touch the arrow buttons up or down
until your desired temperature setting is
displayed.
• Select the water temperature suitable for the type of
load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric care
labels for best results.
• Warmer wash temperatures will improve wash
performance, but will increase energy consumption.
Cooler wash temperatures save energy, but wash
performance may be reduced.
• Cold rinses use less energy. The actual cold rinse
temperature depends on the temperature of the cold
water at the faucet.
SOIL LEVEL
Adjusting the soil level setting will modify
the cycle times and/or wash actions.
Touch the Soil Level arrows up or down to
adjust the Soil Level setting until the desired
soil level is selected.
• Heavier soil levels in the clothes require more time for
adequate cleaning; however, longer wash times tend to
reduce gentleness.
• Lighter soil levels in the clothes requires less time for
complete cleaning, and shorter wash times are gentler
on the clothes.
SPIN SPEED
Higher spin speeds extract more water
from clothes, reducing drying time and
saving energy. Slower spin speeds help
reduce wrinkling and are gentler on
fabrics but dry times and energy consumption will be
increased.
Touch the Spin Speed arrows up or down until the de-
sired speed is selected. Some fabrics, such as delicates,
require a slower spin speed. Not all settings are avail-
able for all cycles.
