Settings
Individual settings for soil level (
Level
), water temperature (
Temp
) and spin speed (
Spin
) can be set from the
minimum to maximum. In general, the higher up the column, the more energy will be used.
Soil
Changing the
Soil
level increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil.
To change the
Soil
level, press the
Soil
level pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can choose
between Extra Light, Light, Normal, Heavy or Extra Heavy soil levels on most cycles.
Temp
Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the wash cycle. The
AutoSoak
and
PreWash
rinse water is
always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and wrinkles.
Follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when selecting the wash temperature.
To change the wash temperature, press the
Temp
pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between Tap Cold, Cold, Warm, Hot or Extra Hot on most cycles. By design, to protect fabrics, not all
wash temperatures are available for certain wash cycles. Extra Hot temperatures are enabled by the internal
heater on models equipped with Steam capabilities.
NOTE:
The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the fabric and
preventing stains from setting on garments.
Spin
Adjusting the
Spin
speed changes the final spin speed of the cycles. Always follow the garment manufacturer’s
care label when changing the
Spin
speed.
To change the
Spin
speed, press the
Spin
speed pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between No Spin, Low, Medium, High or Max. Higher spin speeds are not available on certain cycles,
such as
DELICATES
and
ACTIVE WEAR
.
Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may also increase
the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics.
NOTE:
This washer features a
dBT™ (Dynamic Balancing Technology)
system. This patented onboard sensing
technology enables real-time balancing of the spin cycle for each load, saving time and providing a quiet wash. This
should lead to more consistent wash times and an overall reduction in noise and vibration. If the washer should
experience any excessive noise, vibration or shaking, simply
Pause
the washer, open the door, and manually
redistribute the load before restarting the cycle.
