For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility
of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the
clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result
in poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration,
fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into
groups as described below.

For proper wash performance, always measure the
detergent using the measurements provided by the
detergent manufacturer.
The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for
average loads, is less than ½ of the recommended
maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil
or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum
amount recommended by the detergent
manufacturer.

NOTE: The time shown is only an estimate. This time
is based on normal operating
conditions. Several
external factors (load size, room temperature,
incoming water temperature, etc.) can affect the
actual time.
CYCLE STATUS INDICATOR
These LEDs will illuminate when a cycle is selected
to indicate which stages will run. When a cycle is
running, the LED will blink for the active stage. Once
a stage is complete, the LED will turn off. If a cycle
is paused, the active LED will stop blinking.

SPIN SPEED
Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes,
reducing drying time and saving energy.
Press the SPIN SPEED button until the desired speed
is selected. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require
a slower spin speed. To protect your clothing, not all
spin speeds are available for all cycles.
