Individual settings for agitation (Soil), water temperature (Temp), and spin (Spin) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to 

maximum (highest in column). In general, the higher up the column, the more washer energy will be used.
NOTE: Higher Spin speeds typically reduce dryer time/energy usage (i.e. reduces total energy when using both a washer and a dryer).

 The wash cycle controls the type of washing process. The Cycle Selector knob can be turned in either direction. Turning the knob after 

starting a cycle will stop the washer and change the cycle/options to the new selection. Press Start to begin the new cycle selection.  

NOTE: When the knob is turned to another cycle, the basket light is turned on to assist in loading.
The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing.

for a large heavily soiled load, following the detergent and Oxi product label instructions. When sanitizing large or  

 

 

extra large loads, use the maximum recommended dosage of Oxi product. Using more than one full scoop is not  

 

 

recommended. Place the detergent and Oxi product directly in the bottom of the wash basket, before adding the

this 

cycle.

NOTE: The default Sanitize With Oxi cycle water temperature (Hot) can NOT be changed.

  

The 

Sanitize With Oxi cycle is certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification  

 

 

organization. The certification verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in residential laundry  

 

 

and that no significant contamination is transferred to subsequent washer loads. Only the Sanitize With Oxi cycle
