CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load
size and water pressure may affect the time shown in the
display. Tightly packed, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds
may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not
all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
2nd RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
STAIN BOOST
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to
the cycle.
PREWASH
Use this option to add an extra agitation and soak time
to the beginning of any cycle to break up tough stains.
TIMED OXI
Use this option to add an extra agitation and soak time
to the beginning of any cycle to break up tough stains.
CYCLE SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. You may select High, Low, or Off (no
indicator lit). The Cycle Signal is a helpful reminder to
remove items from washer as soon as the cycle has
completed.
NOTE:
Press and hold Cycle Signal for 6 seconds to turn
button sounds on or off.

CYCLE MODIFIERS
When you select a cycle, its default modifiers will light up.
Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all
models.
WASH TEMP
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water
safe for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even in a Cool water wash, some warm water may be
added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As
you press SOIL LEVEL, the cycle time (minutes) will increase
or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and
a different wash time will appear.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time, if
needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press
SOIL LEVEL to select less wash time, if needed. Lower
soil level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can
be changed. Not all spin speeds are available with
all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times,
but may increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling,
but will leave your load more damp.
