LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
5
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 during the cycle. Tightly packing
garments, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the
washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
Touch the desired option 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
For details, see "Cycle Status Lights".
Wash Temp
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,
follow the garment label instructions. All wash temperatures
feature a cold rinse.
Spin
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on
the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.
• 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
The Soil setting (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
For most loads, use this preset soil level. When you change
the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the
Estimated Time Remaining display.
For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil setting to
select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics,
use the Soil setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level
settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

cycle. Items will gently tumble through the detergent and
water for the selected time to help loosen tough stains.
