Like the previous section, the list below shows all available Temperature, Spin, and Soil Level settings. The number of settings and their names will vary between models, but the purpose for each setting is the same. For details specific to your model, see your user manual.

 

Temperature

  • Hottest Setting (Extra Hot, Hot): For heavily soiled, colorfast items. This temperature setting is only available on certain cycles.

  • Second Hottest Setting (Hot): For whites and heavily soiled, colorfast items.

  • Middle Setting (Warm): For colorfast items. Only the final rinse will be warm; the other rinses will be cold to conserve energy.

  • Eco Setting (Warm/Cold, Eco Warm): For moderately soiled, colorfast items, and most wrinkle-free items. This is similar to the Middle setting but uses less energy.

  • Second Coldest Setting (Cool, Cold): For brightly colored, very lightly soiled items.

    Note: In comparison to the coldest setting, this setting will include hot water, if needed, to achieve a temperature around 60 degrees.

  • Coldest Setting (Cold, Tap Cold): Uses cold water only.

    Note: On some models, the coldest setting is selected by cycling the Temperature button until no indicators are lit. This setting does not use any hot water, regardless of how cold the cold water is.

 

Spin

  • Extra High: Removes more water from loads during spin. Do not use with wrinkle-free or no-iron fabrics, and do not overload the washer.

  • High: Use for underwear, t-shirts, jeans, and sturdy cottons.

  • Medium: Use for jeans, wrinkle-free or wash-and-wear items, and synthetics.

  • Low: Use for delicate items that require a slow spin speed.

  • No Spin: Drains the washer without spinning. Use for extremely delicate items that cannot tolerate any spinning.

  • Rinse Hold: Prevents draining or spinning, so the laundry remains in the water and the cycle does not end. Switch off of Rinse Hold again to finish the cycle.

    Note: On most models, Rinse Hold is selected by cycling the Spin setting until no indicators are lit.

 

Soil Level

  • Extra Heavy: For extremely soiled loads.

  • Heavy: For heavily soiled loads.

  • Normal: For moderately soiled loads. This setting is best for most loads.

  • Light: For lightly soiled loads.

  • Extra Light: For barely soiled loads.
