Operating Instructions
Cycle Settings
Appropriate wash temperature, spin speeds, soil level and
options will be displayed for each cycle. The settings can
be changed before the cycle is started. Make modifications
according to fiber content, colorfastness and soil level. If
changes are attempted after the cycle starts a signal will beep
and “
Not possible” will be displayed.
Spin Speed
Soil Level
Max , high , medium and low spin speeds are available for
each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of final spin vary
from model to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water, decrease
drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing the spin speed
will reduce wrinkling.
Select
low spin speed to gently spin items that should be line
dried.
Use
no spin to omit all intermediate spinning phases and the
final spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very wet.
Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select a
rinse
& spin cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient
time.
Adjust the wash time based on the soil level of each load. Extra
heavy, heavy , medium , light , and extra light soil levels are
available.
Wash Water Temperature
To change the preset temperature, press the temperature icon
to scroll to the desired setting. A cold water rinse saves energy
and reduces wrinkling.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with
every cycle. The indicator will not light if the setting is not
available with that cycle.
Wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to
maximize detergent effectiveness and improve washing
performance. The water heater setting and its distance from the
washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and seasonally
low ground water temperature in some geographic areas can
affect water temperature.
sanitize
This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics such as
towels, bedding, and children’s clothing by killing 99.9% of
bacteria using wash water heated with a boost heater. Cold
water is used to cool and rinse the load.
NOTE
To change settings after the cycle starts, press
Pause
, adjust
the setting and press Start to resume the cycle.
Follow the fabric care label
instructions on items to be
washed.
For best results
NOTE
To change the options once the cycle has begun, press the
Pause button, make the new selection and press Start
again.
To add options, press the corresponding option’s icon to
illuminate the selection desired. To delete options, press the
option’s icon again and the indicator light will turn off. Not all
options are available on every model. To protect your fabrics,
not all options are available with every cycle. If an option
is not appropriate for the cycle, the indicator will not light.
Occasionally, a setting and option in the same cycle will conflict
with each other, like
no spin (or low spin ) and eco friendly .
When this happens, the eco friendly option will override any
incompatible selections.
prewash
Select this option to add a short initial wash period to a
cycle. Heavily soiled and stained loads will prewash for
approximately 15-20 minutes. The water will drain and the
load will automatically advance to the regular wash cycle.
fresh rinse
Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove
excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily
soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin.
eco friendly
The eco friendly option reduces the amount of hot water usage
and total cycle duration to to save energy. See Washer Settings
Chart for compatible cycles.
Cycle Options
hot
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cottons
and blends.
warm
Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cottons
or blends.
NOTE
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy.

Washers
cold
Some warm water will automatically blend with cold tap
supply to achieve a precise
cold . Use this setting for lightly
soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand
washables.
eco cold
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to temperature
of cold tap supply. Use this selection for fabrics and colors
that are prone to dye transfer. For use with cold water
detergents.
