CYCLE MODIFIER BUTTONS

Each cycle has default settings that are selected automatically. You may adjust some of these settings using the cycle modifier buttons. Press the button for the desired modifier until the indicator light for the desired value is lit. The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency. Due to the high-efficiency nature of this product, water levels may be much lower than expected. This is normal operation and cleaning/rinsing performance will not be compromised.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. A different chime will sound and the LED will not light if a selection is not allowed. See the Cycle Guide on page 14 for details.

Adjusts the wash and rinse temperature combination for the selected cycle. Press the WATER TEMP button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.

Your washer features a heating element to boost the hot water temperature for Extra Hot settings.

This provides improved wash performance at normal water heater settings.

Select the water temperature suitable for the type of

load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for best results.

Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 86°F (30°C).

Warm rinses leave the clothes drier than cold rinses, but will result in increased energy consumption and greater wrinkling of clothes.

Cold rinses use less energy. The actual rinse temperature depends on the temperature of the cold water at the faucet.

In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle.

Use both hot and cold water supply for optimal results.

Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy.

Press the SPIN SPEED button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower spin speed.

SOIL LEVEL

Adjusts the selected cycle to allow more time for

heavily soiled clothes or less time for lightly soiled clothes.

Press the SOIL LEVEL button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.
