Not all features and cycles are available on all models.
NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that 

responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections 

are registered, touch the control panel with your finger tip, not 

your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch 

its name.

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based 

on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be 

changed. 
•  Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may  

increase wrinkling in your load. 

•  Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave  

your load more damp.

The Soil setting (wash time) is preset for each wash  

cycle. For most loads, use this preset soil level. When  

you change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase  

or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display. 
For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil setting 

to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate 

fabrics, use the Soil setting to select less wash time. 

Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and 

wrinkling.
Presoak 

Touch to add a Presoak time of your choice to a wash 

cycle. Items will gently tumble through the detergent and 

water for the selected time to help loosen tough stains.

Touch to activate additional wash options or additional 

features on the washer. Not all options are available on all 

models.

The Steam Clean option adds additional soak and wash 

time to many cycles to help remove tough stains, as well 

as a steam boost for added cleaning power. 
An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash 

temperatures. See the “Cycle Guide” for cycles that 

allow the Steam Clean option.
Extra Rinse 

Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.
NOTE: Some cycles include this feature as a default.  

See “Cycle Guide” for details. 

Touch to turn the washer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel  

a cycle at any time. 

Use your Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your 

washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.  

An LED will light up for the cycle selected. 
NOTE: The Clean Washer LED will flash when the washer 

has run 30 wash cycles as a reminder to run the Clean 

Washer cycle. 
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

Touch and hold until the light above START comes on to 

start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to 

pause it. If you want to add a garment, you can touch START 

when the “Add Garment” LED is on.

Use 

+ and – to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to  

12 hours. To turn off Delay Wash, use 

+ and – to set the 

delay time to “0,” or touch POWER.

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and 

the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors 

such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure 

may affect the time shown in the display during the cycle. 

Tightly packing garments, unbalanced loads, or excessive 

suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well. 
Touch the desired option along the bottom of the display to 

adjust settings. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on 

each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

For details, see “Cycle Status Lights”.
Wash Temp 

The recommended wash temperature is preset for each 

cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based 

on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best 

results, follow the garment label instructions. All wash 

temperatures feature a cold rinse.
