CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

1 ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time required
for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size and water
pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly
packing, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the
washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
POWER/CANCEL
2
Press to turn the washer on and off, or to cancel a cycle.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
3
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
LID LOCK
4
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning,
the lid will lock and the Lid Lock light will turn on.
This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot
be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press
START/Pause/Unlock. The lid will unlock once
the washer movement has stopped. This may take
several minutes if the load was spinning at high
speed. Press START/Pause/Unlock again to
resume the cycle.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
5
When you select a cycle, its default modifiers will light up. Not
all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.
TEMP LEVEL
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water safe
for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even in a Cool water wash, some warm water may be
added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As
you press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will increase
or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a
different wash time will appear.
For most loads, use the Soil Level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics,
press Soil Level to select more wash time, if needed. For
lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select
less wash time, if needed. Lower Soil Level setting will help
reduce tangling and wrinkling.

SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can
be changed. Not all spin speeds are available with
all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but
may increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will
leave your load more damp.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not
all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.
PREWASH
Use this option to add an extra agitation and soak time to
the beginning of any cycle to break up tough stains.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at
the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
DEEP CLEAN
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to the
cycle.
END SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off (no indicator
lit). A louder signal is helpful in alerting you that the cycle is
complete.
NOTE: Press and hold End Signal button for 6 seconds to
turn button sounds off or on.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
