Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed. Spin speeds
may vary by cycle.
Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times.
Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling.
Wash-Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier and mor
e comfortable to handle
than with cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase
wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.
