O
LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS BUTTONS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the
Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors such as
load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the
time shown in the display. Overloading, unbalanced loads, or
excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time,
as well.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the display to adjust
settings. See "Cycle Guide" for available settings on each cycle.
Not all settings are available with all cycles.
Cycle Status Lights
The indicator bar at the top of the display will let you know
what stage of the wash cycle is in process, as well as when
the door is locked or if you can still add an item. For more
information on each stage, see "Cycle Status Lights".
Temperature
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each
cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based on the
type of fabric and soils being washed. For best results, use
the warmest wash water safe for your fabric, following the
garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature
a cold rinse, except Warm*, which has a warm wash and a
warm rinse.
@
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on
the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed. O
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
Soil Level
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you
press the Soil Level button, the cycle time will increase or
decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display.
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. For lightly soiled
and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash
time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and _,D
wrinkling.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at
end of cycle.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a
button is pressed. Press and hold the EcoBoost button for
about one second to turn button sounds on or off.
OPTION BUTTONS
Use these buttons to activate additional wash options or
additional features on the washer. Not all options are available
on all models.
EcoBoost
TM
option
Press to activate the EcoBoost
TM
option. The EcoBoost
TM
option provides additional energy savings through reduced
hot water usage and maintains cleaning performance by
lengthening the wash time on some cycles.

second to turn button sounds on or off.
OXl Dispense (on some models)

stains. On models with Steam, you may add detergent to the
Oxi compartment for Presoak.

to many cycles to help remove tough stains. An integrated
heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. See the
"Cycle Guide" for cycles that allow the Deep Clean option.

NOTE: Some cycles include this feature as a default. See
"Cycle Guide" for details.

Press to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light will also
turn on when the door is open, and turn off automatically after
about 5 minutes.

unwanted changes or operation. Press and hold 3 seconds
again to unlock. You may still press START/PAUSE to pause
the cycle, or press the POWER button to turn the washer off.
DEEP CLEAN with Steam (Steam models only}
The Deep Clean with Steam option adds additional soak and
wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains, as well
as a Steam boost for added cleaning power. An integrated
heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. See the
"Cycle Guide" for cycles that allow the Deep Clean option.
FANFRESH
TM
OPTION
With the washer on, press to activate the FanFresh
TM
option. This
will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up
to 16 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the
washer to reduce humidity. You may also activate the FanFresh
option without running a cycle by pressing and holding for 3
seconds, then pressing START/PAUSE.

The door will lock while the FanFresh option is active.
Press the POWER/CANCEL button to stop the cycle and
unlock the door.
FanFresh is not available if the spin speed is set to No Spin.
