Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time. 2 WASH CYCLE KNOB Use your 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. NOTE: For best results when using the Overnight 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 a Garment" LED is on. 4 LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed. Factors such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packing garments, 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 Temperature 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. Soil Level Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. When you change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Cycle Time display. For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling. Spin Speed This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed. n Higher spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may increase wrinkling in your load. n Lower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load more damp.
