6.9 Cycle settings
Washing temperature
The appropriate washing temperature will automatically be indicated for the cycle selected. To change the preset temperature, press the Temp button to scroll to the desired setting. Select a wash water temperature according to fiber content, colorfastness and soil level.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with every cycle. If a temperature is not appropriate for the cycle, it cannot be selected and will not be lit by pressing the Temp button.
The temperature selected for the cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future.
All wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and improve washing performance. The water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water temperature in some geographic areas can affect water temperature.
Sanitize (on select models) Use the sanitize setting to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, cloth diapers, and children’s clothing.
It is recommended that you set your water heater to 120°F (49°C) or higher to ensure proper performance during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is extra large, the cycle time may be extended.
When used with the heavy duty, towels, optic whites and whitest whites, cycles, the sanitize setting will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or harsh chemicals are needed, but higher temperatures are required. Check fabric care labels to prevent damage.

NOTE
The Heavy Duty, Towels, Optic Whites and Whitest Whites with Sanitize setting cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy.
NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes Washers
NOTE
If the voltage at your outlet is under 110v, the internal heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the final temperature of the wash water may be lower and sanitation may be reduced.
The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to a maximum of 152°F (67°C) as the load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin.
As a precaution, the washer door remains locked when the water temperature reaches 130°F (55°C)
NOTE
If the wash cycle is paused or canceled while the internal drum temperature is above 130°F (55°C), the door will remain locked until it cools. You may manually perform a Rinse & Spin cycle to cool the internal temperature sooner.
Allergen (on select models) Removes dust mites and dander from household objects. The temperature does increase on this setting.

28 ENGLISH

NOTE
The Heavy Duty, Optic Whites and Towels cycles with the Allergen option selected have been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF P351 protocol for allergen reduction efficacy. These cycles and settings will kill dust mites and eliminate at least 95% of pet dander. Since higher temperatures are required, please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.
NSF Protocol P351 Allergen Reduction Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes Washers
Hot Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cottons and blends.
Warm Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cottons or blends.
Eco Cold (on select models) Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For
use with cold water detergents.
NOTE
The washer will always use a small amount of hot water to dissolve the pack when the PODS® option has been selected.
Soil level
Adjust the wash time based on the soil level of each load. Solid Soil (on select models), Heavy, Normal, Light and Extra Light (on select models) soil levels are available.
Spin speed
Max (on select models), High, Medium and Low (on select models) spin speeds are available for each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of final spin vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water, decrease drying time and conserve

energy. Decreasing the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
Select low spin speed (on select models) to gently spin items that should be line dried.
Use no spin to omit the final spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select a spin only cycle to remove excess water at a more convenient time.
6.10 Cycle options
The default options for each cycle will automatically be chosen when a cycle is selected. To protect fabrics, not all options are available for all cycles. If an option is not available for a cycle, the indicator will not light.
Selecting options
Press the Options button to scroll though the options until the indicator light for the desired option flashes, then press Select. The indicator light will illuminate when the option has been selected. Follow the same steps to deselect an option. The indicator light will turn off when the option is deselected.
options select de-select
NOTE
If changes to the settings or options are attempted after the cycle starts, you will hear several beeps when the buttons are pressed. To change settings or options, press Start/ Pause, make the new selections and press Start/Pause again.
All settings or options selected for the cycle, except Sanitize (on select models), Perfect SteamTM (on select models), and stain treatment options, will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future. To return to factory settings, press and hold Soil and Options buttons at the same time and hold for 3 sec until the confirmation signal sounds. To prevent unintentional and accidental exposure of delicate material to excess heat or unexpected steam, the Sanitize, Perfect SteamTM and all stain

1 Drain hose. The washer has a flexible drain hose to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of your home. You will hear water flowing into your stand pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the washer.
2 Water valves / dispenser. As water enters the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly based on the water pressure in your home.
3 Door lock. Your washer is equipped with a door lock with an electric solenoid. There will be a clicking

sound as the washer door is locked or unlocked.
4 Drain / recirculation pumps. Your washer is equipped with multiple high velocity system pumps. It is normal to hear humming and gurgling sounds as water is either pumped from the washer during the drain phase or recirculated during the prewash and wash phases. Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that your pump is functioning correctly.
5 High speed motor. A powerful motor is used to drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water from your load. You will hear a sound associated with these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size and cycle selected.
CAUTION!
Abnormal, on-going sounds may be an indication of a pending washer failure and should be investigated by a qualified technician. Refer to noise section of the Troubleshooting chapter.

Le non-respect de ces renseignements importants sur la sécurité et les avertissements pourrait entraîner des dommages matériels, des dommages corporels graves ou la mort.
1.2 Prévention des incendies
· Ne lavez pas les articles ayant déjà été nettoyés, trempés ou tachés avec de l’essence, des solvants de nettoyage, du kérosène, des huiles de cuisson, des cires ou toute autre substance inflammable ou explosive. Ne rangez pas ces articles sur ou à proximité de l’appareil ménager. Ces substances dégagent des vapeurs ou sont à l’origine de réactions chimiques inflammables ou explosives.
· Ne placez pas de chiffons ou de vêtements huileux ou graisseux sur l’appareil ménager. Ces substances dégagent des vapeurs susceptibles d’enflammer les matériaux.
· N’ajoutez pas d’essence, de solvants de nettoyage ni toute autre substance inflammable ou explosive à l’eau de

Ces substances dégagent des vapeurs inflammables ou explosives · Dans certaines conditions, l’hydrogène gazeux peut être produit dans un système à eau chaude qui n’a pas été utilisé pendant au moins deux semaines. LE GAZ D’HYDROGÈNE EST EXPLOSIF. Si le système à eau chaude n’a pas été utilisé pendant une certaine période, ouvrez tous les robinets d’eau chaude, puis laissez couler l’eau pendant plusieurs minutes avant d’utiliser l’appareil ménager. Cela libérera tout gaz d’hydrogène accumulé. Le gaz d’hydrogène est inflammable; ne fumez pas et ne produisez aucune flamme nue pendant cette période. · N’entreposez pas et n’utilisez pas d’essence ou d’autres vapeurs ou liquides inflammables à proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre appareil ménager. · Le non-respect de ces avertissements peut entraîner un incendie, une explosion, des blessures corporelles graves et/ou des dommages aux parties en caoutchouc ou en plastique de l’appareil ménager. · Cessez l’utilisation de l’appareil ménager en cas de couinements, grincements, frottements ou si tout autre bruit inhabituel est perceptible. Ceux-ci pourraient indiquer une panne mécanique et provoquer tout incendie ou blessure grave. Communiquez immédiatement avec un technicien qualifié.
1.3 Protection des enfants
· Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper ou jouer autour de l’appareil ménager. Une surveillance étroite des enfants est nécessaire lorsque l’appareil ménager est utilisé en présence d’enfants. Au fur et à mesure que les enfants grandissent, apprenez-leur à utiliser correctement et en toute sécurité tous les appareils ménagers.
· Détruisez le carton, le sac en plastique et les autres matériaux d’emballage après le déballage de l’appareil ménager. Les enfants pourraient s’en servir pour jouer. Les cartons recouverts de tapis, de couvre-lits ou

de feuilles de plastique peuvent devenir des chambres hermétiques. · Gardez les produits pour la lessive hors de portée des enfants. Pour éviter les dommages corporels, consultez tous les avertissements figurant les étiquettes du produit. · Avant de mettre l’appareil ménager hors service ou au rebut, retirez la porte afin d’éviter tout risque de coincement accidentel. · Le non- respect de ces avertissements pourrait entraîner des dommages corporels graves.
1.4 Risque de piégeage des enfants
Le piégeage et la suffocation des enfants ne sont pas des problèmes du passé. Les machines à laver ou les sécheuses abandonnées ou mises aux rebuts sont toujours dangereuses — même si elles n’y restent que « quelques jours seulement ». Si vous vous débarrassez de votre ancienne machine à laver ou sécheuse, veuillez suivre les instructions ci-dessous pour prévenir les accidents.
Nous préconisons fortement des méthodes de recyclage et d’élimination responsables des appareils ménagers.
