Soil Level
Soil Level is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset Cycle
Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press Soil Level pad, the cycle time
(minutes) will increase or decrease in the ESTIMATED TIME
REMAINING display and a different Soil Level light will glow. To
get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light
next to REFRESH illuminates. This is the shortest wash time
available for that cycle.
When a wash cycle is started, the estimated time remaining for
the cycle, including fills and drains, will be displayed. The time
will count down to the end of the cycle.
Adjustable Cycle Signal
A tone will sound at the end of the cycle. The sound level of this
tone can be adjusted by pressing CYCLE SIGNAL. The volume of
tone you will hear at the end of the cycle will sound as the pads
are pressed.

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
Treat spots and stains.
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Sorting
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
Unloading
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
