Temperature
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. Some preset temperatures can be changed. You may select a different wash temperature based on the level of soil and type of fabric 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 Speed
The recommended spin speed is preset for each cycle. 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.

Soil Level
The recommended soil level is preset for each cycle. The Soil Level option allows you to select a Light, Normal, or Heavy soil level setting. Some preset soil levels can be changed. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, select the Heavy soil level setting. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select the Light soil level setting. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

Extra Rinse
