Soil Level

Soil Level is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING display and a different Soil Level light will glow. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light next to REFRESH illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available for that cycle.

When a wash cycle is started, the estimated time remaining for the cycle, including fills and drains, will be displayed. The time will count down to the end of the cycle.

Adjustable Cycle Signal

A tone will sound at the end of the cycle. The sound level of this tone can be adjusted by pressing CYCLE SIGNAL. The volume of tone you will hear at the end of the cycle will sound as the pads are pressed.

LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

Treat spots and stains.

Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

Sorting

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.

Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).

Unloading

Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.
