5 LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS BUTTONS 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. Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well. 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 Lights The indicator bar at the top of the display will let you know what stage of the wash cycle is in process, as well as when the door is locked or if you can still add an item. For more information on each stage, see "Cycle Status Lights". 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, except Warm*, which has a warm wash and a warm rinse. Spin Speed 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 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. Cycle Signal Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at end of cycle. NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a button is pressed. Press and hold the EcoBoost button for about one second to turn button sounds on or off. 6 OPTION BUTTONS Use these buttons to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models. EcoBoost™ option Press 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. NOTE: Press and hold the EcoBoost button for about one second to turn button sounds on or off. OXI Dispense (on some models) Turn this option on when using Oxi boost products in the dispenser to ensure they are dispensed at the optimal time in the cycle. Oxi Dispense is not available on the Quick Wash, Delicates, or Handwash cycle. Presoak Press to add a Presoak to a wash cycle to help loosen tough stains. On models with Steam, you may add detergent to the Oxi compartment for Presoak. Extra Rinse Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles. NOTE: Some cycles include this feature as a default. See "Cycle Guide" for details. Drum Light (on some models) Press to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off automatically after about 5 minutes. Control Lock Press and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid unwanted changes or operation. Press and hold 3 seconds again to unlock. You may still press START/PAUSE to pause the cycle, or press the POWER button to turn the washer off. 7 DEEP CLEAN/DEEP CLEAN with Steam (on some models) The Deep Clean option adds additional soak and wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains. An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. On Steam models, Deep Clean includes a Steam boost for added cleaning power. See the "Cycle Guide" for cycles that allow the Deep Clean option. 8 FANFRESH™ OPTION With the washer on, press to activate the FanFresh™ option. This will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 16 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity. You may also activate the FanFresh option without running a cycle by pressing and holding for 3 seconds, then pressing START/PAUSE. NOTE: The door will lock while the FanFresh option is active. Press the POWER button to stop the cycle and unlock the door. 9 PRECISION DISPENSE DRAWER The Precision Dispense drawer gives you the convenience of automatically adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and fabric softener to the wash load at the proper time. Steam models also feature an Oxi /color-safe bleach compartment. See "Using the Dispenser" for information on using the dispenser drawer. A High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent for your main wash cycle. For models without an Oxi dispenser compartment, liquid or powdered color-safe bleach or Oxi booster product may be added to the HE detergent compartment along with the same type of detergent, liquid or powdered. B Liquid fabric softener compartment Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at the optimum time in the cycle. n Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. C Liquid chlorine bleach compartment Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the optimum time during the first rinse after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach. D Oxi Dispense compartment (Steam models only) This compartment holds measured liquid or powdered Oxi booster product and dispenses it at the proper time in the cycle. Oxi Dispense is not available on the Quick Wash, Delicates, or Handwash cycle. This compartment may also be used to hold detergent when using the Presoak option. 5
