CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

TIME/STATUS DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
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.
The Delay Start indicator will light if you have set a delay
start to the cycle.
The Add a Garment indicator will let you know when it is still
possible to add items to the load.
The Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 45 wash
cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the "Cleaning your
washer" section to run the clean washer cycle, or you can
press Reminder Reset button to manually reset clean washer
cycle counter.

OPTIONS AND MODIFIERS
5
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and
save energy.
WASH TEMP/RINSE TEMP
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you
are washing. Use the warmest wash water suitable for
fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable
to handle than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also
increase wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling
and save energy.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F
(15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be
difficult to remove.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Spin speeds may vary by cycle.

SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See
"Cycle Guide." As you press the SOIL LEvEL pad, the
cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time
Remaining display and a different wash time will appear.
To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the
Light indicator light illuminates. This is the shortest
wash time available for that cycle with the wash options
selected.
• For most loads, use the time recommended in the
"Cycle Guide."
• For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press SOIL LEvEL
to select more wash time, if needed.
• For light soil and delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEvEL
to select less wash time, if needed.
AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Auto Temperature Control (ATC) electronically senses and
maintains a uniform wash and rinse water temperature.
ATC regulates incoming hot and cold water. The ATC
is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected.
(See "Cycle Guide.")
ATC is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cool/
Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and
Cold/Cold settings depends on the water temperature at
the water inlet faucets.
• ATC ensures consistent cleaning.
• H eated water consumes the largest amount of energy
that a washer uses.
• T oday's detergents work well at temperatures above
60°F (15.6°C).
Use Option pads to select or deselect the options for your
wash cycle. Options may add time to the wash cycle.
WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE
The Water Save Spray Rinse option reduces rinse water
in the cycle. This option is available on most cycles and
must be selected prior to the start of the cycle. Do not
use liquid fabric softener with the Water Save Spray Rinse
option. Select the Fabric Softener option if using liquid
fabric softener to make sure there is proper dispensing.
OxI TREAT STAINS
This washer is designed to dispense laundry boosters
such as oxygenated stain treaters and color-safe
bleach at the correct time in the cycle for best cleaning
performance. Do not use laundry boosters and chlorine
bleach in the same cycle.
