WASH TEMP
Wash Temp selects the wash and rinse temperature 

combination for the selected cycle. Press the Wash 

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 dryer 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.

SPIN SPEED
Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes, 

reducing drying time and saving energy.
Press the SPIN SPEED button until the desired speed 

is selected. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require 

a slower spin speed. To protect your clothing, not all 

spin speeds are available for all cycles.
The Drain & Spin cycle:
1. Press the POWER button to turn ON the washer.
2. Press the SPIN SPEED button to select the desired

    spin speed. For drain only, select the  

    NO SPIN option.
3. Press the START/PAUSE button. The water will

    drain and the clothes will tumble before 

    the spin routine begins.
SOIL LEVEL
Adjusting the soil level setting will modify the cycle 

to allow more time for heavily soiled clothes or less 

time for lightly soiled clothes. Press the SOIL LEVEL 

button until the desired soil level is selected.
CHIME
Press repeatedly to adjust the volume of the chime 

and keypad tones. You may turn the end-of-cycle 

chime and keypad tones ON or OFF with the CHIME 

button.

Each cycle has default settings that are selected

automatically. You may also customize 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

temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available 

with every cycle. A chime will sound and the LED will not 

light if a selection is not allowed.
