Cycle Modifiers
About Modifier Buttons
Each cycle has default settings that are selected
automatically. You can also customize these
settings using the cycle modifier buttons.
• Repeatedly press the button for the desired
modifier until the indicator light for the desired
setting is lit.
• The washer automatically adjusts the water level
for the type and size of wash load for best results
and maximum efficiency.
• This is a high-efficiency washer, and the water
levels may be much lower than you expect. This
is normal, and cleaning/rinsing performance will
not be compromised.
NOTE
• The setting lights up when it is selected.
• To protect your garments, not every wash
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is
available with every cycle.
• A chime will sound twice and the LED will not
light if the desired setting is not allowed for the
selected cycle.
• Follow the fabric care labels on the garment for
best results.
Temp.
Make sure the wash temperature is suitable for
the type of load you are washing.
• Press the Temp. button repeatedly to select the
wash and rinse temperature combination for the
selected cycle.
• All rinses use unheated cold water.
• Cold rinses use less energy. The actual cold rinse
temperature depends on the temperature of the
cold water at the faucet.
• Your washer features a heating element to boost
the hot water temperature for Ex Hot settings.
This provides improved wash performance at
normal water heater settings.
Spin
Higher spin speeds extract more water from
clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy.
• Press the Spin button repeatedly until the
desired speed is selected.
• Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower
spin speed.
Dry Cycles
General Tips for Drying
Use the automatic cycles to dry most loads.
Electronic sensors measure the temperature of the
exhaust to increase or decrease drying
temperatures for faster reaction time and tighter
temperature control.
• Use the Wash+Dry cycle to automatically wash
and dry laundry.
• For better drying results, make sure all items are
similar in material and thickness.
• Do not overload the appliance by stuffing too
many articles into the drum. Items must be able
to tumble freely.
• If you open the door and remove the load before
the appliance has finished its cycle, remember to
press the Start/Pause button.
• After the end of dry,
Woolen Articles
Do not tumble dry woolen articles. Pull them to
their original shape and dry them flat.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, by
varying amounts, depending on their quality.
Always stretch these materials out immediately
after drying.
Permanent Press and Synthetics
Do not overload your appliance. Take out
permanent press articles as soon as the appliance
stops to reduce wrinkles.
Baby Clothes and Nightgowns
Always check the manufacturer's instructions.
Blankets and Duvets
Check fabric care labels on blankets and duvets
before using the drying cycle. Heated drying may
cause some blankets and duvets to shrink.
