Cycle Settings

Washing Temperature

The appropriate washing temperature will auto- matically be indicated for the cycle selected.

For best results

Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be washed.

To change the temperature, press the Tempera- ture button to scroll to the desired setting. Select a wash water temperature according to fiber content, colorfastness and soil level. A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.

To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with every cycle. The indicator will not light if the setting is not available with that cycle.

The temperature selected for the cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future.

To return to factory settings, press these two buttons at the same time and hold until the signal sounds.

NOTE

To change the temperature once the cycle has begun, press the pause button, make the new selection and press start again.

All wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and improve washing performance. The water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water temperature in some geographic areas can affect water temperature.

SANITIZE

This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics such as towels, bedding, and children’s clothing by killing 99.9% of bacteria using wash water heated with a boost heater to 152° F (67° C). Cold water is used to cool and rinse the load. This setting is only available with the deep clean sanitize cycle.

HOT

Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cottons and blends.

WARM

Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cottons or blends.

COLD

Use this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand washables.

ECO COLD

Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to tem- perature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For use with cold water detergents.

Spin Speed

Max, high, medium, and low spin speeds are available for each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of final spin vary from cycle to cycle.

Increasing the spin speed will extract more water, decrease drying time and conserve energy. De- creasing the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.

Use no spin to omit the final spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select the rinse & spin cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient time.

Soil Level

Adjust the wash time in 3-minute increments based on the soil level of each load. Max, heavy, normal, light and extra light soil levels are available.
