SPIN SPEED
The washer drum spins at up to 1,200 RPM. This
extracts more water from
clothes, reducing drying time
and saving energy.
Press the SPIN SPEED
button until the indicator
light for the desired setting
is lit. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a
slower spin speed.
The Drain & Spin cycle:
The Spin Speed button also activates the Drain
& Spin cycle to drain the tub and spin clothes;
for example, if you want to remove clothes before
the cycle has ended.
H O W TO U S E
CYCLE SETTING BUTTONS
Each cycle has preset settings that are selected
automatically. You may also customize the
settings using the cycle setting buttons. Press the
button for that setting until the indicator light for
the desired value is lit.
The washer automatically adjusts the water level
for the type and size of wash load for best results
and maximum efficiency. It may seem there is no
water inside the drum in some cycles, but this is
normal.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/
rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option
is available with every cycle. See the Cycle Guide
for details.
SOIL LEVEL
Adjusts the selected cycle to allow more time
for heavily soiled clothes or
less time for lightly soiled
clothes. Press the SOIL
LEVEL button until the
indicator light for the
desired setting is lit.
WASH/RINSE
Selects the wash and rinse temperature
combination for the selected
cycle. Press the WASH/
RINSE button until the
indicator light for the desired
setting is lit.
• Your washer features a heating element to
boost the hot water temperature for Extra
Hot † settings. This provides improved wash
performance at normal water heater settings.
• Select the water temperature suitable for the
type of load you are washing. Follow the fabric
care label for best results.
• Warm rinses are regulated at approximately
86°F (30°C).
• Warm rinses leave the loads drier than cold
rinses. Warm rinses can increase wrinkling.
• In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle.
• Cold rinses use less energy, and the rinse
temperature depends on the cold water at the
faucet.

Adjust the Wash/Rinse Temperature, Spin
Speed, and Soil Level to the desired settings.
Set any other desired options.
Press and hold the CUSTOM PROGRAM
button for 3 seconds. You will hear two

At the beginning of the cycle, the washer tumbles
the load and detects the weight of the
clothes. The display will indicate the
approximate load size in the LOAD SIZE
display. This allows you to adjust the
amount of detergent and other additives for best
results and improved efficiency.

To use Automatic Load Size Sensing:
Load the washer, select the desired cycle and
options, and then start the cycle by pressing the
START/PAUSE button.
The washer will tumble for a short time to detect
the size of the load. After the washer detects
the load size, the washer will show the detected
size in the LOAD SIZE display for 10 seconds
before it continues with the cycle.
During the 10 second delay in step three, press
the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
Fill the detergent and additive compartments
of the detergent drawer with detergent/additive
amounts based on the load size the machine
has detected. Following these guidelines can
save detergent.
Press the START/PAUSE button again to resume
the cycle.
To check the load size during the wash portion of the
cycle, press and hold the RINSE+SPIN button for 3
seconds. The LOAD SIZE display will be activated for
10 seconds.
NOTE: The load detection routine only works with
dry clothes. Since the detection system is detecting
the WEIGHT of the load, it will be affected by
unusually heavy articles in the load. For example,
a garment that is already wet that is loaded with
other items will cause the LOAD SIZE reading to
be inaccurate.
If you do not desire to take advantage of the load
size detection feature, simply load the desired
amount of detergent and additives in the dispenser
and start the washer in the usual manner.
LOAD SIZE SENSING SYSTEM
Example 1: If the washer has detected a small load size, the
display may only show one lighted bar. Only a small amount of
detergent should be used, because the amount of clothing and
the quantity of water that will be used is small.
Example 2: If the washer has detected a large load size,
the display may show all four bars lighted. More detergent
should be used, because the amount of clothing and the
quantity of water that will be used is greater.
The LOAD SIZE display:
Detergent
manufacturer’s
recommended
amount for a
full load
Recommended
amount for
this load
Detergent
manufacturer’s
recommended
amount for a
full load
Recommended
amount for
this load
NOTE: Because the washer uses a very small amount of
water, care should be taken when deciding how much
detergent to use. Normal loads only need about half the
detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount. This
saves detergent by using it in a more concentrated manner.
However, for heavily soiled loads, additional detergent should
be added. Never exceed manufacturer’s recommendations!
IMPORTANT: If you press and hold the
CUSTOM PROGRAM button for 3 seconds, you
will overwrite any previously stored CUSTOM
PROGRAM.
