CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING DISPLAY 

The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time required 

for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size and water 

pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly 

packed or unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the 

washer to adjust the cycle time, as well. 

POWER/CANCEL BUTTON 

Press to turn the washer ON or OFF.

WASH CYCLE KNOB 

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your 

washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. 

See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

START/PAUSE BUTTON 

Press to start the selected cycle. Be sure all desired Modifiers 

and Options have been selected. Press START/PAUSE once to 

unlock the lid and add a garment. Press START/PAUSE again 

to complete the cycle from where it was stopped. The lid must 

be closed for the washer to start.

CYCLE MODIFIERS 

Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save 

energy. Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available on  

all models.

WASH TEMP 

Select a water temperature based on the type of load you 

are washing. Use the warmest wash water suitable for 

fabrics. Follow garment label instructions. 
All cycles use cold rinses. Cold rinses may help with 

wrinkling and save energy. 
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F 

(15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be 

difficult to remove.
SPIN SPEED 

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based  

on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed.  

Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
n

  Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but  

may increase wrinkling in your load. 

n

  Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will  

leave your load more damp.

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 and sturdy fabrics, 

press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time, if needed. 

For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to 

select less wash time, if needed. Lower Soil Level settings 

will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

CYCLE OPTIONS 

When you select a cycle, its default options will light up. Not all 

cycles, options, and modifiers are available on all models.

WATER SAVE SPRAY RINSE 

Use this option to save water by using a spray rinse instead 

of a deep water rinse. This option is the default setting on 

some cycles, and selectable on other cycles. When using 

fabric softener, always select the FABRIC SOFTENER 

button, or select EXTRA RINSE; both of these options will 

dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse. 
EXTRA RINSE 

This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse 

to most cycles. 
FABRIC SOFTENER 

This option must be selected if using fabric softener  

during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added  

at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
CYCLE SIGNAL 

Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that  

sounds at end of cycle. You may select Hi, Low, or Off  

(no indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items 

as soon as cycle is complete. 

You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all 

options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to 

work with certain cycles.
To turn Button Sounds either Off or On:

Button Sounds can be turned off or on by holding down the 

Cycle Signal button for 5 seconds. The washer will make a 

single short beep/tone when complete. This function can be 

completed at any time during the washer’s operation, but not in 

STANDBY. 
When the Button Sounds function is set to Off:
n

  Invalid key selection tones (3 short beeps/tones) will still  

remain active, but will sound at the “SOFT” volume level.

n

  All Valid key selection tones (1 short beep/tone) are disabled  

including Power/Cancel and End of Cycle signal, as well as  

the chime that is produced when turning the cycle knob past  

NORMAL.

NOTE: The chosen setting will remain in effect through a power 

loss.
