Additional Features
These lights show which portion of the cycle the washer is
operating. They also indicate when you can add other garments to
the wash load.
Load is Done
The Done light stays on until the lid is opened or the Power or
Pause/Cancel button is pressed.
Indicator lights
An indicator light shows which Cycle, Modifiers, and Options you
have selected.
Estimated Time Remaining
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.
Modifiers
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save
energy.
Soil Level
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset
Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press the Soil Level pad, the
cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated
Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To
get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light
next to Light Soil Level illuminates. This is the shortest wash time
available for that cycle.
■ For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset
cycle settings.
■ For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select
more wash time, if needed.
■ For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select
less wash time, if needed.
Load Size
This washer automatically selects Auto for the water level when
the cycle is selected. The Auto feature senses the size of the load
and adds the correct amount of water for the load size. You can
also manually change the water level settings.
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.

water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Care Control Temperature Management
Care Control Temperature Management electronically senses
and maintains a uniform wash and r

Care Control regulates incoming hot and cold water and is
au
