Efficiency Monitor – The Efficiency Monitor allows you  

to see how the settings you select affect your energy  

savings. To use the Efficiency Monitor, choose the best 

cycle, temperature, spin speed, and options for the 

fabrics being washed. The Efficiency Monitor will rate 

the water and energy use of those selections, from Good 

to Best. You can then adjust the settings and options to 

decrease the amount of energy used within that cycle. 

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.
Spin

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on 

the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.

time, as well.
