soccer uniform or a running tank and shorts.

a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.

If you want to add a garment, you can touch START when the

“Add a Garment” LED is on.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and

the Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed. Factors such as

load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the

time shown in the display. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced

loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to lengthen the

cycle time, as well.

Touch the desired setting on the right side of the display to

adjust. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle.

Not all settings are available with all cycles.

Temperature

The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle.

You may also select a wash temperature based on the type of

fabric and soils 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.

Soil Level

Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.

When you

change the soil setting,

the cycle time will increase or decrease in

the Estimated Cycle Time display.

For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the cycle

you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics,

use the

Soil Level setting

to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and

delicate fabrics,

use the Soil Level setting

to select less wash

time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and

wrinkling.

Spin Speed

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based

on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.

Higher spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may

increase wrinkling in your load.

Lower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load

more damp.

NOTES:

The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a

light touch of your ﬁnger. To ensure your selections are registered,

touch the control panel with your ﬁnger tip, not your ﬁngernail.

When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

At cycle completion, your setting and option choices will be

remembered for your next use of that cycle. However, if power

is lost to the washer, the settings and options will go back to the

factory defaults.

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a washing machine, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the washing machine is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this.

Can I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.
