CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
POWER BUTTON
Press to turn the washer ON. Pressing once while the
washer is on will cancel the current cycle. Pressing twice
will turn the washer OFF.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Turn the Wash Cycle knob to select a cycle for your laundry
load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
TIME/STATUS DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
If you have set a delay start to the cycle, the Estimated
Time Remaining display will show the delay time adjusted.
When the cycle is complete, the DONE indicator will light
until the lid is opened.
The Lid Lock indicator lights up when the lid is locked
and cannot be opened. If you need to open the lid, press
START/PAUSE. The lid will unlock once the washer
movement has stopped. This may take several minutes
if the load was spinning at high speed. Press START/PAUSE
again to restart the cycle.
ECO MONITOR
Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy
and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options,
will result in different energy and water usage. To use the
Eco Monitor, choose the best cycle for the load being
washed, then adjust temperature and spin speed options
to improve the energy usage within that cycle.
START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause
a cycle.
CYCLE SIGNAL BUTTON
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. A louder signal is helpful in removing items
as soon as cycle is complete.
CYCLE OPTIONS
You may add or remove options for each cycle. Note that
not all options can be used with all cycles, and some are
preset to work with certain cycles.
ECOBOOST
The EcoBoost option allows you to increase your energy
savings on your wash cycles. When this option is used,

the wash cycle will use cooler wash water than the
selected cycle and may increase the spin speed for
faster drying.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER
Press this button to set the Fabric Softener dispenser to
automatically add liquid fabric softener to the load at the
correct time.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. 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.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time, if
needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press SOIL
LEVEL to select less wash time, if needed. A lower soil
level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed.
Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
WASH TEMP
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following
the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric.
Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
Even for cold wash settings, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
