The SPIN cycle is used to drain the tub or spin out a load. When the SPIN pad is pressed, the wash tub will begin spinning, automatically selecting a 5 minute spin. "Spin 5 Minutes" will appear in the Monitor. (To change the spin time see the following section.)

Water Temperature
Wash water temperature is critical to good laundry results. Household water heaters should be set to deliv-
er a minimum of 140 ° E (60° C.) water to the washer for the hot wash setting. Other temperature options are thermostatically controlled by the washer to assure con- sistent temperatures, improve cleaning and save energy'.
Warm wash water is automatically programmed into cycle selections. This temperature can be changed by pressing the WASH TEMP ADJUST pad. There are five temperatures available as indicated by the ther- mometer symbol in the Monitor. They are:
HOT - Wash and presoak water will be the tempera- ture of the water coming from the hot water faucet. Rinse water will be cold. Use this setting for heavily soiled whites and colorfast items,
ENERGY SAVER HOT - Wash and presoak water will be approximately 120 ° F. Rinse water will be cold.
Use this setting for moderately soiled whites and col- orfast items.
WARM - Wash and presoak water will be approxi- mately 100 ° F. Rinse water will be cold. Use this setting for permanent press and colored items with light to
moderate soil.
ENERGY SAVER WARM - Wash and presoak water will be approximately 80 ° F. Rinse water will be cold. Use this setting for delicates, colored and permanent press items with light soil.
COLD - Wash and presoak water will be the temper- ature of the water coming from the cold water faucet.
Use this setting to minimize fading of brightly colored items and shrinkage of washable woolens.
NOTE: Water below 65°F is too c01d to dissolve and activate granular laundry detergents.
Water Level
The Extra Large Water Level is automatically pro- grammed into the cycle selection. This level can be
changed by pressing the WATER LEVEL ADJUST pad. There are five water levels available as indicated
by the washer tub symbol in the Monitor.
For best washing results, clothes must circulate freely. If too little water is used, poor cleaning, ]inting and excessive wear may result. Use the following as a guide to select the proper water level:
Extra Large - 3/4 to fnlI of clothes.
Large - 1/2 to 3/4 fidl of clothes.
Medium - 1/3 to 1/2 full of clothes.
Small- 1/4 to 1/3 fidl of clothes.
Mini - Less than 1/4 full of clothes. (When this level is selected a gentle agitation/slow spin is automatically provided for gentle handling of small loads.)
NOTE: When laundering permanent press items or items of delicate construction, washable woolens or
loosely knit items, never use less than the MEDI- UM setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.
Signal Level
An audible signal will remind you to return to the washer. The washer signal consists of 8 short beeps and will sound at the end of the wash cycle. It will also sound if the lid is left open during a cycle or if the
washer stops due to an unevenly distributed clothes load.
To adjust the volume of the signal, press the SIGNAL LEVEL ADJUST pad. The loudness level is indicated audibly as well as visually by the symbol in the Monitor. The signal level does not need to be set each time the washer is used.
