Cycle Settings Con't Auto Temperature Control Improves washer performance by utilizing sensors to precisely measure water temperatures. Water temperature can be affected by the water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home and seasonally low ground water temperatures in some geographic areas. Because detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of 65° F, select settings with the symbol for regulated wash and final rinse water temperatures. Hot 120° F Warm 90° F Cold 65° F Cycle Options To select or delete the Press Saver, Extra Rinse, Extra Spin or Cycle Signal, press OPTIONS until the blinking light indicates the desired option. Then, while it is blinking, press SELECT. The indicator will light when the option has been selected. It will no longer be lighted when the option has been deleted. To provide the best care for your laundry items, not every option is available with every cycle. Press Saver Adding the Press Saver option alters the spin pattern of the cycle to further reduce wrinkling. Washer Features Delay Start Press Delay Start to select a wash time convenient to your schedule or during off peak energy hours. The start of the cycle can be delayed for up to 12 hours. Control To avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the washer, press OPTIONS and SELECT at the same time until the Control indicator is lighted. To unlock the controls, press OPTIONS and SELECT again. Final Spin Speed The High, Medium and Low spin speeds have been developed for each cycle. The speeds will vary from cycle to cycle. For example, High Speed in the Normal cycle is much faster than High Speed in the Handwash cycle. • Increasing spin speed will extract more water and decrease drying time. • Decreasing spin speed will reduce wrinkling. • HANG DRY is available with some cycles to gently spin items that should not be machine dried. • Use NO SPIN to omit the final spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select DRAIN / SPIN to remove excess water at a more convenient time. Soil Level Select HEAVY SOIL to increase the wash time or LIGHT SOIL to decrease the wash time in some cycles. Extra Rinse Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin. Extra Rinse occurs before the final rinse when the liquid fabric softner is dispensed. Extra Spin Use this option to add several additional minutes to the final spin at the selected speed. This will improve water extraction and decrease drying time. Cycle Signal A signal will sound at the end of the cycle when the cycle signal is selected. Estimated Time The estimated total cycle time will be displayed when the cycle is selected. The time may increase if water pressure is low or the load becomes unbalanced. The approximate time remaining will be displayed during the cycle. Status Lights The following will be displayed at the appropriate times during the cycle: • Door Lock • Wash • Rinse • Final Spin • Control Cycle Heavy Normal Perm Press Heavy Soil + 2 minutes + 2 minutes + 2 minutes Water Level There is no need to select a water level. The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the type and size of wash load. PN 134457800 (0501)
