LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
4
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and
the Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed. Factors such as
load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the
time shown in the display. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced
loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to lengthen 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.

Temperature
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, use the warmest
wash water safe for your fabric, following the garment label
instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.
Soil Level
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. When you
change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in
the Estimated Cycle Time display.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the cycle
you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the
Soil Level setting to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and
delicate fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select less wash
time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and
wrinkling.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.
Higher spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
n
increase wrinkling in your load.
Lower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load
n
more damp.
