Individual settings for agitation (Soil), water temperature (Temp), and spin (Spin) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to
maximum (highest in column). In general, the higher up the column, the more washer energy will be used.
NOTE: Higher Spin speeds typically reduce dryer time/energy usage (i.e. reduces total energy when using both a washer and a dryer).
