Control settings. 3 Soil Level Changing the Soil level increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil. To change the Soil level, press the Soil level button until you have reached the desired setting. You can choose between Extra Light, Light, Normal, Heavy or Extra Heavy soil levels. 4 Wash Temp Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the wash cycle. The prewash and rinse water is always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and wrinkles. Follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when selecting the wash temperature. To change the wash temperature, press the wash Temp button until you have reached the desired setting. You can choose between Tap Cold, Cold, Warm, Hot or Extra Hot. By design, to protect fabrics, not all wash temperatures are available for certain wash cycles. NOTE: The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the fabric and preventing stains from setting on garments. 5 Spin Speed Changing the Spin speed changes the final spin speed of the cycles. Always follow the garment manufacturer's care label when changing the Spin speed. To change the Spin speed, press the Spin speed button until you have reached the desired setting. You can choose between No Spin, Low, Medium, High or Extra High Spin. Higher spin speeds are not available on certain cycles, such as Delicates. Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may also increase the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics. 6 Rinse Changing Rinse will change the number of rinses the cycle will use. To change the rinse option, press Rinse until you have reached the desired setting. On some models you can choose between Normal, Extra, Max (a third rinse), and no rinse. In order to select no rinse, press the Rinse button until no lights are lit in the rinse window. On models with Rinse+Spin cycle, a drain and spin cycle can be achieved by selecting no rinse. On models with Drain+Spin cycle, a rinse and spin cycle can be achieved by selecting Ext Rinse option. NOTE: Some models have only an Extra Rinse option. This option allows for an extra rinse during a cycle to remove excess dirt and detergent from soiled loads. Press the Ext Rinse button to select. 7 Start/Pause Press to start a wash cycle. If the washer is running, pressing it once will pause the washer and unlock the door. It will take a few seconds for the door to unlock after pressing Pause. Press again to restart the wash cycle. NOTE: If the washer is paused and the cycle is not restarted within 15 minutes, the current wash cycle will be cancelled. NOTE: In some cycles the washer will drain first, then unlock the door when it is paused. NOTE: The washer performs automatic system checks after pressing the Start button. Water will flow in 45 seconds or less. You may hear the door lock and unlock before water flows; this is normal. 6
