Cycle Settings
Operating Instructions
The appropriate washing temperature will auto-
matically be indicated for the cycle selected.
NOTE
To change the temperature once the cycle has
begun, press the pause button, make the new
selection and press start again.
To change the temperature, press the Tempera-
ture button to scroll to the desired setting. Select a
wash water temperature according to fi ber content,
colorfastness and soil level. A cold water rinse saves
energy and reduces wrinkling.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are
available with every cycle. The indicator will not light
if the setting is not available with that cycle.
The temperature selected for the cycle will be
remembered and recalled each time that cycle is
selected in the future.
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be washed.
For best results
All wash water temperatures are automatically
regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and
improve washing performance. 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.
SANITIZE
This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics
such as towels, bedding, and children’s clothing by
killing 99.9% of bacteria using wash water heated
with a boost heater to 152° F (67° C). Cold water is
used to cool and rinse the load. This setting is only
available with the deep clean sanitize cycle.
Max, high, medium, and low spin speeds are
available for each cycle. The spin speed and/or
duration of fi nal spin vary from cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water,
decrease drying time and conserve energy. De-
creasing the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
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 the rinse & spin
cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient
time.
Adjust the wash time in 3-minute increments based
on the soil level of each load. Max, heavy, normal,
light and extra light soil levels are available.
