or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle
time, as well.

Cycle Status Lights
Delay Wash – If a Delay Wash is set, the Delay Wash
indicator will light and the delay time will count down
in the display.

the door is locked and cannot be opened without first

Efficiency Monitor – The Efficiency Monitor allows you
to see how the settings you select affect your energy
savings. To use the Efficiency Monitor, choose the best
cycle, temperature, spin speed, and options for the
fabrics being washed. The Efficiency Monitor will rate
the water and energy use of those selections, from Good
to Best. You can then adjust the settings and options to
decrease the amount of energy used within that cycle.
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
n
increase wrinkling in your load.
Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
n
your load more damp.
