and the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the display to adjust
settings. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each

See “Cycle Status Indicators” for additional information
about each step.
Temperature
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each
cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based
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 Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Preset speeds can be changed.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter drying times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your
load more damp.

lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to
select less wash time. Lower Soil Level settings will help
reduce tangling and wrinkling.
