CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

ECO MONITOR

Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy  

and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options,  

will result in different energy usage. As you make your cycle 

and temperature selections, the Eco Monitor shows how 

well you are saving energy. Adjust the temperature and spin 

speed within that cycle to improve energy usage. Using the 

EcoBoost setting on a cycle can also be a one-touch way to 

improve your Eco Monitor rating on many cycles. 

NOTE: 

Not available on Model 6AWTW5550XW1

CYCLE SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up.

TEMP 

Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform  

water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and  

cold water. 
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric 

and soils being washed. For best results and following the 

garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water 

safe for your fabric.  
 

•  

Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your  

previous washer provided.

•  

Even in a Cool water wash, some warm water may 

be added to the washer to maintain a minimum 

temperature.   

•  When washing in tap cold or cold, dissolve the “HE” 

detergent in warm water first before adding it to the 

dispenser will improve wash performance and avoid 

detergent residue on your clothes.

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, sturdy fabrics 

and full loads, press SOIL LEVEL to select Extra Heavy. 

For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL 

to select Light. Lower soil level settings help reduce 

tangling, wrinkling, and lint.
