About Modifier Buttons

Each cycle has default settings that are selected automatically. You can also customize these settings using the cycle modifier buttons.

  • Repeatedly press the button for the desired modifier until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.

  • The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency.

  • This is a high-efficiency washer, and the water levels may be much lower than you expect. This is normal, and cleaning/rinsing performance will not be compromised.

Note
  • The LED next to the setting lights up when the setting is selected.

  • To protect your garments, not every wash temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle.

  • A chime will sound twice and the LED will not light if the desired setting is not allowed for the selected cycle.

  • Follow the fabric care labels on the garment for best results.

Wash Temp.

Make sure the wash temperature is suitable for the type of load you are washing.

  • Press the Wash Temp. button repeatedly to select the wash and rinse temperature combination for the selected cycle.

  • All rinses use unheated cold water.

  • Cold rinses use less energy. The actual cold rinse temperature depends on the temperature of the cold water at the faucet.

Spin Speed

Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy.

  • Press the Spin Speed button repeatedly until the desired speed is selected.

  • Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower spin speed.

Soil Level

Adjusting the soil level setting will modify the cycle times and/or wash actions.

  • Press the Soil Level button repeatedly until the desired soil level is selected.

  • The Heavy soil setting may increase cycle times. The Light soil setting may decrease cycle times.

Signal

The washer plays a melody when the wash cycle is finished. The buttons make a sound each time they are pressed. Use this button to adjust the volume of the melody and button tones.

  • Press the Signal button to adjust the volume to High, Low, or Off.

  • When no sound is heard, the signal is off. The volume can be adjusted at any time as long as the washer is turned on.
