WASH WATER TEMPERATURE

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 Temp water temperatures are automatically regu-
lated to maximize detergent e ff ectiveness 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 a ff ect water temperature.
SPIN SPEED
SOIL LEVEL
To protect your fabrics, not all spin speeds are available
with every cycle. The indicator will not light if the setting is
not available with that cycle.
Extra High , High , Medium and Low spin speeds are
available for appropriate cycles. The spin speed and/or
duration of fi nal 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 the fi nal 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.
Heavy , Normal , and Light soil levels are available.
