5 LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display during the cycle. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well. Touch the desired setting along the bottom of the display to adjust. See "Cycle Guide" for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles. Cycle Status Lights For details, see the "Cycle Status Lights" section on the next page. Wash Temp The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best results, follow the garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse. Spin This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed. • Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may increase wrinkling in your load. • Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load more damp. Soil The Soil setting (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. For most loads, use this preset soil level. When you change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil setting to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the Soil setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling. Presoak Touch to add a Presoak time of your choice to a wash cycle. Items will gently tumble through the detergent and water for the selected time to help loosen tough stains. 6 OPTIONS Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models. A Steam Clean The Steam Clean option adds additional soak and wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains, as well as a steam boost for added cleaning power. An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. See the "Cycle Guide" for cycles that allow the Steam Clean option. B EcoBoost™ option Touch to activate the EcoBoost™ option. The EcoBoost™ option provides additional energy savings through reduced hot water usage and maintains cleaning performance by lengthening the wash time on some cycles. C FanFresh® Option (on some models) The FanFresh® option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 12 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity. To turn on the FanFresh® option, touch FanFresh. If, however, the FanFresh® option is turned on, it will stay on for all future cycles until turned back off - the washer remembers the last on/off status set. To turn off the FanFresh® option, touch FanFresh. You may also activate the FanFresh® option without running a cycle by touching and holding POWER for one second, then touching and holding FanFresh for 3 seconds, then touching and holding START for 3 seconds. To turn off the FanFresh® option when it is running, touch POWER. NOTE: The door will lock while the FanFresh® option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER. C TumbleFresh™ Option (on some models) The TumbleFresh™ option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 6 hours to reduce humidity. To turn on the TumbleFresh™ option, touch TumbleFresh. If, however, the TumbleFresh™ option is turned on, it will stay on for all future cycles until turned back off - the washer remembers the last on/off status set. To turn off the TumbleFresh™ option, touch TumbleFresh. You may also activate the TumbleFresh™ option without running a cycle by touching and holding POWER for one second, then touching and holding TumbleFresh for 3 seconds, then touching and holding START for 3 seconds. To turn off the TumbleFresh™ option when it is running, touch POWER. NOTE: The door will lock while the TumbleFresh™ option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER. D Extra Rinse Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles. E Cycle Signal Use this option to turn on or off the signal that sounds at end of cycle. To turn off the tones that sound when a setting is touched: Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds. Repeat to turn them on. F Control Lock Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 3 seconds again to unlock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is held down, the display will count down one second: you will see "3," then "2," then "1." You can still touch START to pause the cycle, or touch POWER to turn off the washer. 5
