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. Make modifications according to fiber content, colorfastness and soil level. Modifications for each 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 settings after the cycle starts, press pause, adjust the setting and press START to resume the cycle.

WASH WATER TEMPERATURE

To change the preset temperature, press the temp button to scroll to the desired setting. 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.

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.

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

Some warm water will automatically blend with cold tap supply to achieve a precise cold. Use this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand washables.

cold water clean

Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to temperature 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 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 spin only cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient time.

SOIL LEVEL

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

NOTE

Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy.
