See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles. NOTE: For best results when using the Wash & Dry cycle, use for loads weighing 2.5 pounds and less, such as a soccer uniform or a running tank and shorts. 3 START Touch and hold until the light above START comes on to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. If you want to add a garment, you can touch START when the "Add Garment" LED is on. 4 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. Tightly packing, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to lengthen the cycle time, as well. Touch the desired option along the bottom of the display to adjust settings. See "Cycle Guide" for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles. 4 Cycle Status Lights For details, see "Cycle Status Lights". Precision Dispense - Detergent Concentration and Water Hardness These options are used to set detergent concentration (2x-6x) and to set water hardness level (normal, hard, or soft). (See "About Detergent Concentration" section.) IMPORTANT: When using the dispenser cartridge with concentrated liquid detergent, be sure to change the detergent concentration settings in the control if the detergent used is different than factory preset of 2x concentration. 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, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric, following 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.
