NOTE:
To protect your garments, not every wash temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle.
A chime will sound and the LED will not light if the selection is not allowed.
*When a cycle is selected, the default time for that cycle is displayed. This time will change as modifi ers or options
are selected. Once the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the washer will measure the size of the load. The estimated
time may change once the load size has been measured. The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the
amount of laundry, water pressure, water and other operating conditions.
These cycles use various wash motions to enhance cleaning and/or fabric care performance. The wash motions may
sound diff erent at diff erent stages of the wash cycle. This is normal.
