OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown above for reference only. Your model may differ.

Cycle Settings, continued

SOIL LEVEL

Adjust the wash time in 3-minute increments based on the soil level of each load. Heavy, Normal, and Light Soil Levels are available.

Cycle Options

To select or delete the Energy Saver (if equipped), Extra Rinse, Stain Clean, Extended Spin (if equipped) or Signal Volume, press Options until the blinking light indicates the desired option. Then, while it is blinking, press Select. The indicator will light when the option has been selected. It will no longer be lighted when the option has been removed.

Not all options are available on every model or are compatible with every cycle. The indicator will not light if the option is not available with that cycle.

￿NOTE

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

The options selected for the cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future. To return to factory settings, press the Start/Pause and Select buttons at the same time and hold until the signal sounds.

Energy Saver (on select models)

The Energy Saver option reduces the warm water temperature a few degrees to save energy and also extracts more water to reduce drying time.

Extra Rinse

Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin. Extra Rinse occurs before the final rinse when the liquid fabric softener is dispensed.

Stain Clean

Use the Stain Clean option to add a 5-minute soak in the middle of the wash portion of any cycle except Quick and Hand Wash.

Extended Spin (on select models)

Use this option to add several additional minutes to the final spin at the selected speed. This will improve water extraction and decrease drying time.

Signal Volume

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

Other Features

Delay Start

Press Delay Start to select a wash time convenient to your schedule or during off peak energy hours. The start of the cycle can be delayed for up to 14 hours. The delay time selected will be displayed as 30, 60 or 90 minutes or 2 through 14 hrs.

Control Lock

To avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the washer, press Options and Select at the same time and hold for 10 seconds until “LOC” is displayed alternately with the estimated cycle time. To unlock the controls, press Options and Select at the same time and hold 10 seconds until “LOC” is no longer displayed.
