4 LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS BUTTONS When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Use the buttons 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. Cycle Status Indicators The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle. See "Cycle Status Indicators" for additional information about each step. 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. Spin Speed This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Preset speeds can be changed. • Faster spin speeds mean shorter drying times, but may increase wrinkling in your load. • Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load more damp. Soil Level Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you press the Soil Level button, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display. For most loads, use the Soil Level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time. Lower Soil Level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling. 5 ADDITIONAL OPTIONS Use these buttons to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models. See the "Cycle Guide" for information on which cycles include which options. Delay Start Use this button to delay the start of the wash cycle.

This option combines a super hot water temperature to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this option. 8 EcoBoost™ Option Press to activate the EcoBoost™ option. The EcoBoost™ option allows you to increase your energy savings on some wash cycles. When this option is used, the wash cycle will use slightly cooler wash water than the selected temperature. The indicated temperature will not change. 9 TumbleFresh™ Option Use this option when you are not able to unload your clothes, soon after the wash cycle ends. This option provides periodic tumbling for up to 6 hours to help freshen your clothes. During this time, the "Done" indicator remains activated, the door remains locked, and the TumbleFresh™ indicator light will flash. The TumbleFresh™ option will automatically stop and the door lock will be released after this time expires, or if you press POWER at any time to unload your laundry. You may select or deselect by pressing the TumbleFresh™ button until the TumbleFresh™ indicator light glows.
