LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS BUTTONS
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. Overloading,
unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer
to adjust the cycle time, as well.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the display to adjust
settings. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each
cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.
Cycle Status Lights
The indicator bar at the top of the display will let you
know what stage of the wash cycle is in process, as well
as when the door is locked or if you can still add an item.
For more information on each stage, see “Cycle Status
Lights”.
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, except Warm*, which
has a warm wash and a warm rinse.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be
changed.
t Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
t Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
Soil Level
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you
press the Soil Level button, 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, press Soil Level to select more wash time. For
lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to
select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help
reduce tangling and wrinkling.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a
button is pressed. Press and hold the EcoBoost button for
about one second to turn button sounds on or off.
OPTION BUTTONS
Use these buttons to activate additional wash options
or additional features on the washer. Not all options are
available on all models.
EcoBoost ™ option
Press to activate the EcoBoost
™
option. The EcoBoost
™
option provides additional energy savings through
reduced hot water usage and maintains cleaning
performance by lengthening the wash time on some
cycles.
NOTE: Press and hold the EcoBoost button for about one
second to turn button sounds on or off.
OXI Dispense (on some models)
Turn this option on when using Oxi boost products in the
dispenser to ensure they are dispensed at the optimal time
in the cycle. Oxi Dispense is not available on the Quick
Wash, Delicates, or Handwash cycle.
Presoak
Press to add a Presoak to a wash cycle to help loosen
tough stains. On models with Steam, you may add
detergent to the Oxi compartment for Presoak.

“Cycle Guide” for details.
Drum Light (on some models)
Press to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light
will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off
automatically after about 5 minutes.
Control Lock
Press and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to
avoid unwanted changes or operation. Press and
hold 3 seconds again to unlock. You may still press
START/PAUSE to pause the cycle, or press the POWER
button to turn the washer off.
DEEP CLEAN/DEEP CLEAN with Steam
(on some models)
The Deep Clean option adds additional soak and wash time
to many cycles to help remove tough stains. An integrated
heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. On
Steam models, Deep Clean includes a Steam boost for
added cleaning power. See the “Cycle Guide” for cycles that
allow the Deep Clean option.
FANFRESH ™ OPTION
With the washer on, press to activate the FanFresh
™
option.
This will periodically tumble the load after the end of the
cycle for up to 16 hours while the integrated fan circulates
air through the washer to reduce humidity. You may also
activate the FanFresh option without running a cycle by
pressing and holding for 3 seconds, then pressing
START/PAUSE.
NOTE: The door will lock while the FanFresh option is
active. Press the POWER button to stop the cycle and
unlock the door.

compartment. See “Using the Dispenser” for information on
using the dispenser drawer.
