Using the washer
Settings
D
Individual settings for soil level (Level), water temperature (Temp) and spin speed (Spin) can be set from the
minimum to maximum. In general, the higher up the column, the more energy will be used.
Soil
Changing the Soil level increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil.
To change the Soil level, press the Soil level pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can choose
between Extra Light, Light, Normal, Heavy or Extra Heavy soil levels on most cycles.
Temp
Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the wash cycle. The AutoSoak and PreWash rinse water is
always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and wrinkles.
Follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when selecting the wash temperature.
To change the wash temperature, press the Temp pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between Tap Cold, Cold, Warm, Hot or Extra Hot on most cycles. By design, to protect fabrics, not all
wash temperatures are available for certain wash cycles. Extra Hot temperatures are enabled by the internal
heater on models equipped with Steam capabilities.
NOTE: The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the fabric and
preventing stains from setting on garments.
Spin
Adjusting the Spin speed changes the final spin speed of the cycles. Always follow the garment manufacturer's
care label when changing the Spin speed.
To change the Spin speed, press the Spin speed pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between No Spin, Low, Medium, High or Max. Higher spin speeds are not available on certain cycles,
such as DELICATES and ACTIVE WEAR.
Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may also increase
the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics.
NOTE: This washer features a dBT™ (Dynamic Balancing Technology) system. This patented onboard
sensing technology enables real-time balancing of the spin cycle for each load, saving time and providing a
quiet wash. This should lead to more consistent wash times and an overall reduction in noise and vibration.
If the washer should experience any excessive noise, vibration or shaking, simply Pause the washer, open the
door, and manually redistribute the load before restarting the cycle.

SMARTDISPENSE™
(on some models)
When selected, this feature will automatically add detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add detergent
for each load. See the SmartDispense section for details.

rinse and other settings. Hold down the My Settings pad for 3 seconds. A beep will sound to indicate the

POWER STEAM
(on some models)
Power Steam adds steam into the washer before the wash cycle begins to assist with loosening stains on the
NORMAL, WHITES, TOWELS, BULKY Bedding, SANITIZE+Allergen and POWER CLEAN cycles.

2. Press the POWER STEAM pad to activate steam.
