LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and
the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors
such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure
may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packing,
unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer
to lengthen the cycle time, as well.
Touch the desired setting along the bottom of the display
to adjust. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each
cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best
results, use the warmest wash water safe for your
fabric, following the garment label instructions.
All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.
Spin
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds
can be changed.

Soil
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
When you change the soil setting, the cycle time will
increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining
display.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with
the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and
sturdy fabrics, use the Soil setting to select more wash
time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the
Soil setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level
settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
Presoak
Touch to add a Presoak time of your choice to a
wash cycle. Items will gently tumble through the
detergent and water for the selected time to help
loosen tough stains.
