OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cycle Settings
WASH WATER TEMPERATURE
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be washed.
For best results
Turn the temp knob until the desired wash and rinse
water temperatures are selected. If the water temperature
combination is not appropriate for that cycle, the status
lights will blink and the signal will beep 3 times. Select
a wash water temperature according to fi ber content,
colorfastness and soil level. To protect your fabrics, not all
temperatures are available with every cycle.
Í
NOTE
To change the temperature once the cycle has begun,
press the pause/cancel button once, make the new
selection and press START again.
The water heater setting and its distance from the
washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and
seasonally low ground water temperature in some
geographic areas can affect water temperature.
cold water clean
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to
temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for
fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For
use with cold water
detergents.
cold
Some warm water will automatically blend with cold
tap supply to achieve cold. Use this setting for lightly
soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand
washables.
warm
Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast
cottons or blends.
hot
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast
cottons and blends.
SPIN SPEED
High, normal and low spin speeds are available for
each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of fi nal spin
vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water,
decrease drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing
the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
Select low spin speed to gently spin items that should be
line dried.
Use no spin to omit the fi nal spin at the end of the cycle.
The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash
drum to drip dry or select a drain/spin or rinse/spin
cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient time.
To select or delete the cycle signal, extra spin, extra
rinse, or stain clean, press options until the blinking
light indicates the desired option. Then, while it is
blinking, press select. The indicator will light when the
option has been selected. It will no longer be lighted
when the option has been removed.
Not all options are available on every model or are
compatible with every cycle. The indicator will not light if
the option is not available with that cycle.
The options selected for the cycle will be remembered
and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future.
To return to factory settings, press the pause/cancel
and select buttons at the same time and hold until the
signal sounds.
stain clean
Use the stain clean option to add a 5-minute soak
in the middle of the wash portion of any cycle except
quick and delicates.
extra rinse
Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to
remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended
for heavily soiled loads or if household members have
sensitive skin.
extra spin
Use this option to add minutes to the fi nal spin at the
selected Spin Speed. This will improve water extraction,
decrease drying time and save energy.
cycle signal
A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if this option
is selected.
