CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
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.
POWER/CANCEL BUTTON
Press to turn the washer ON or OFF.
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.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle. Be sure all desired
Modifiers and Options have been selected. Press START/
PAUSE once to unlock the lid and add a garment. Press
START/PAUSE again to complete the cycle from where it
was stopped. The lid must be closed for the washer to start.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and
save energy. Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are
available on all models.
WASH TEMP
Select a water temperature based on the type of load
you are washing. Use the warmest wash water suitable
for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.
All cycles use cold rinses. Cold rinses may help with
wrinkling and save energy.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F
(15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be
difficult to remove.
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.

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 settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not
all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.
WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE
Use this option to save water by using a spray rinse
instead of a deep water rinse. This option is the default
setting on some cycles, and selectable on other cycles.
When using fabric softener, always select the FABRIC
SOFTENER button, or select EXTRA RINSE; both of these
options will dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse.
OXI TREAT STAINS
Use this option to boost cleaning performance with
Oxi products. This washer is designed to dispense
laundry boosters such as oxygenated stain treaters and
color-safe bleach at the correct time in the cycle for best
cleaning performance, using the liquid chlorine bleach
dispenser. Do not use laundry boosters and chlorine
bleach in the same cycle.
CLEAN BOOST WITH HEATER
The Clean Boost with Heater option helps to ensure better
soil and stain removal. Clean Boost uses a heater within
the washer to maintain the selected temperature setting
throughout the wash period. This option will add some
additional time to the cycle based on which temperature
is selected. It is a preset cycle setting on the Sanitary and
Power Wash cycles. Clean Boost with Heater may be
selected as an option with other cycles.
