NOTE
The heavy duty and whitest whites with
sanitize setting cycles have been designed to
meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for
sanitization efficacy.
NOTE
If the voltage at your outlet is under 110 v, the
internal heater may not adequately heat the
wash water. If the cycle is interrupted while the
water is heating, the final temperature of the
wash water may be lower and sanitation may
be reduced.
The wash water is heated by an internal boost
heater to a maximum of 152° F (67° C) as the
load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool down
the load prior to drain and spin.
As a precaution, the washer door remains
locked when the water temperature reaches 130°
F (55° C).
NOTE
If the wash cycle is paused or cancelled while
the internal drum temperature is above 130° F
(55° C), the door will remain locked until it cools.
You may manually perform a rinse & spin cycle
to cool the internal temperature sooner.
hot
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or color-
fast cottons and blends.
warm
Use this setting for normally soiled white or
colorfast cottons or blends.
cold
Some warm water will automatically blend with
cold tap supply to achieve a precise cold. Use
this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items,
knits, delicates, and hand washables.
eco cold (on select models)
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to
temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selec-
tion for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye
transfer. For use with cold water

detergents.
Soil Level
Adjust the wash time based on the soil level
of each load. Max (on select models), heavy,
normal, light and extra light (on some models)
soil levels are available.
Spin Speed
Max (on select models), high, medium and low
(on some models) spin speeds are available for
each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of
final spin vary from model to model and cycle
to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more wa-
ter, decrease drying time and conserve energy.
Decreasing the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
Select low spin speed (on some models) to
gently spin items that should be line 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
a spin only cycle to remove excess water at a
more convenient time.
Cycle Options
Suitable options will automatically be indicated
when the cycle is selected. To add an option,
press options until the indicator for the desired
option flashes, then press set. The indicator will
be illuminated when the option has been select-
ed. Follow the same steps to delete an option.
To protect your fabrics, not all options are avail-
able with every cycle. If an option is not avail-
able for a cycle, the indicator will not light.
All settings or options selected for the cycle,
except sanitize heat, perfect steam
models), and stain treatment options, will be
remembered and recalled each time that cycle
is selected in the future. To prevent unintentional
and accidental exposure of delicate material to
excess heat or unexpected steam, the sanitize
setting and the perfect steam
be remembered and must be reselected each
time. Stain treatment options will also need to be
reselected each time.
NOTE
To change the options once the cycle has
begun, press the pause button, make the new
selections and press start again.
