Sensing/Revising Estimated Time
The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure,
water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.
The washer will automatically sense the progress in the cycle and
adjust the Estimated Time Remaining display. While the washer is
sensing, the estimated time will flash and the Sensing Status
Light will glow. When the sensing is complete, the flashing stops,
the status light goes off and the Estimated Time Remaining
display is updated.
The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load
is unbalanced. The SUD routine removes extra suds and assures
proper rinsing of your garments. See "Troubleshooting." During
the unbalance routine the time displayed may pause until this
activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.
Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric
and soil levels. The Modifier Indicator Lights, on the right-hand
side of the panel, will change as cycles are selected.
■ Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (estimated cycle time),
Water Temp, and Spin Speed, and may have preset options.
The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for
the selected cycle.
■
The preset settings will glow green to show the preselected
Options and Modifiers, and be changed anytime before
START is pressed. Not all Options and Modifiers are available
with all cycles. Available selections glow amber. (To change
settings after the cycle has started, press PAUSE/CANCEL
once, then select the desired settings. Press START to
continue the cycle.)
■
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed
cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent in slow-speed

cycles.

Sanitary
The Sanitary cycle is certified by NSF International, an
independent, third party testing and certification organization.
The certification verifies that the Sanitary cycle eliminates
99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and
towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after
the cycle is complete.
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This
combines a super hot water temperature and high-speed tumbling
to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C)
to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
Only the Sanitary cycle has been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance
of Residential and Commercial, family sized clothes washer.
