LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and
the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed (for times
longer than 60 minutes, hours will be displayed, followed
by minutes). 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 setting along the bottom of the display to
adjust. 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" section on the
next page.
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.
