E
Individual settings for soil level (SOIL), water temperature (TEMP) and spin speed (SPIN) can be set from the
minimum to maximum. Changes made using these buttons are shown in the LCD display just below the cycle
time. These settings only apply to the WASH portion of the cycle and have no impact on drying.
SOIL
Changing the SOIL level increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil.
To change the SOIL level, press the SOIL level button until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between Extra Light, Light, Normal, Heavy or Extra Heavy soil levels on most cycles.
TEMP
Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the cycle.
Follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when selecting the wash temperature.
To change the wash temperature, press the TEMP button until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between Tap Cold, Cold, Warm, Hot or Extra Hot on most cycles. By design, to protect fabrics, not
all wash temperatures are available for certain cycles. For models equipped with Steam capabilities, Extra Hot
temperatures are enabled by the internal heater. For models without Steam capability, Extra Hot will use 100%
hot water from your water supply.
These settings apply to the WASH portions of the cycle only. The TEMP settings select the water temperature
in WASH and do not change the air temperature for DRY.
The PreWash rinse water is always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and
wrinkles.
NOTE: The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the fabric and
preventing stains from setting on garments.
SPIN
Adjusting the SPIN speed changes the final spin speed of the wash portion of the cycle. Always follow the
garment manufacturer's care label when changing the SPIN speed.
To change the SPIN speed, press the SPIN speed button until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between No Spin, Low, Medium, High or Max. Higher spin speeds are not available on certain cycles,
such as DELICATES and ACTIVE WEAR.
Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may also increase
the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics.
NOTE: The Combo will still do a SPIN if DRY is requested on a WASH cycle in which NO SPIN is selected.
NOTE: This Combo features a dBT™ (Dynamic Balancing Technology) system. This patented onboard
sensing technology enables real-time balancing of the spin cycle for each load, saving time and providing a
quiet wash. This should lead to more consistent wash times and an overall reduction in noise and vibration.
If the Combo should experience any excessive noise, vibration or shaking, simply Pause the Combo, open the
door, and manually redistribute the load before restarting the cycle.
