Operating Instructions

Cycle Settings

For best results

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

Appropriate wash temperature, spin speeds, soil level and options will automatically be displayed for each cycle. The settings can be changed before the cycle is started.

WASH/RINSE WATER TEMPERATURE

To change the preset temperature, press the Wash/Rinse 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.

NOTE

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

Auto Temp wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and im- prove 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.

Extra Hot/Cold

Use this setting for heavily soiled colorfast fabrics such as towels, bedding, and children’s clothing. Extra Hot/ Cold provides wash water heated with an internal boost heater.

Hot/Cold

Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cot- tons and blends.

Warm/Warm

Use this setting when a warm water rinse is desired.

Warm/Cold

Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cot- tons or blends.

Cold/Cold

Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to tem- perature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand washables and other fabrics and colors that are prone to

dye transfer. For use with cold water detergents.

SPIN SPEED

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

Extra High, High, Medium and Low spin speeds are available for appropriate cycles. The spin speed and/or duration of final spin vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.

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

Select Low spin speed to gently spin items that should be line dried.

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 a 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. Five soil levels are available.

CHIME

A chime will sound at the end of the cycle when this option is selected. The signal has an adjustable volume level or can be turned off.
