Cycle Settings
For best results
Follow the fabric care label
instructions on items to
be washed.
Appropriate wash temperature, spin speeds, soil level and
options will be displayed for each cycle. The settings can
be changed before the cycle is started. Make modi cations
according to ber content, colorfastness and soil level. If
changes are attempted after the cycle starts a signal will
beep and " Not possible " will be displayed.
NOTE
To change settings after the cycle starts, press PAUSE,
adjust the setting and press START to resume the cycle.
Wash Water Temperature
To change the preset temperature, press the Wash Temp
icon to scroll to the desired setting. A cold water rinse saves
energy and reduces wrinkling.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available
with every cycle. The indicator will not light if the setting is
not available with that cycle.
Wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to
maximize detergent e ectiveness and improve washing
performance. The water heater setting and its distance
from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home,
and seasonally low ground water temperature in some
geographic areas can a ect water temperature.
Sanitize
This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics such
as towels, bedding, and children's clothing by killing
99.9% of bacteria using wash water heated with a boost
heater. Cold water is used to cool and rinse the load.
NOTE
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization e cacy.

tap supply to achieve a precise cold temperature. Use
this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits,
delicates, and hand washables.
Eco Cold
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to
temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for
fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For use
with cold water detergents.
Spin Speed
Max, High, Medium and Low spin speeds are available for
each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of nal spin
vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water, decrease
drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing the spin speed
will reduce wrinkling.
Select Low spin speed to gently spin items that should be
line dried.
Use No Spin to omit all intermediate spinning phases and
the nal spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very
wet. Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select
a Rinse & Spin cycle to remove excess water at a more
convenient time.
Soil Level
Adjust the wash time based on the soil level of each load.
Extra Heavy, Heavy, Medium, Light, and Extra Light soil
levels are available.

illuminate the selection desired. To delete options, press the
option's icon again and the indicator light will turn o . Not
all options are available on every model. To protect your
fabrics, not all options are available with every cycle. If an
option is not appropriate for the cycle, the indicator will not
light. Occasionally, a setting and option in the same cycle
will con ict with each other, like No Spin (or Low Spin) and
Save Energy. When this happens, the Save Energy option
will override any incompatible selections.
NOTE
To change the options once the cycle has begun, press
the PAUSE button, make the new selection and press
START again.
Prewash
Select this option to add a short initial wash period to a
cycle. Heavily soiled and stained loads will prewash for
approximately 15-20 minutes. The water will drain and the
load will automatically advance to the regular wash cycle.
Extra Rinse
Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to
remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended
for heavily soiled loads or if household members have
sensitive skin.
Save Energy
The Save Energy option reduces the amount of hot water us-
age and total cycle duration to to save energy. See Washer
Settings Chart for compatible cycles.
