POWER
Touch to turn the washer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a
cycle at any time.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use your Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
NOTE: For best results when using the Wash & Dry cycle,
use for loads weighing 2.5 pounds and less, such as a
soccer uniform or a running tank and shorts.
START
Touch and hold until the light above START comes on to
start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to
pause it. If you want to add a garment, you can touch START
when the “Add Garment” LED is on.
LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
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. Tightly packing,
unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer
to lengthen the cycle time, as well.
Touch the desired option 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.

Precision Dispense – Detergent Concentration
and Water Hardness
These options are used to set detergent concentration
(2x–6x) and to set water hardness level (normal, hard,
or soft). (See “About Detergent Concentration” section.)
IMPORTANT: When using the dispenser cartridge with
concentrated liquid detergent, be sure to change the detergent
concentration settings in the control if the detergent used is
different than factory preset of 2x concentration.
Wash Temp
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.
Spin
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.
NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a
light touch of your nger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch
the control panel with your nger tip, not your ngernail. When selecting
a setting or option, simply touch its name.
