Wash / Rinse Water Temperatures

Select a wash water temperature according to fiber
content, colorfastness and soil level.  For best results,
follow the care label instructions and use the hottest water
safe for the fabric.  A cold water rinse saves energy and
reduces wrinkling.

Hot/Cold

  Heavily soiled white/colorfast cotton and

perm press loads.

Warm/Cold 

 Normally soiled white/colorfast cotton and

perm press loads.

Warm/Warm

  Washable woolens.

Cold/Cold  

Lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits,

delicates and hand washables.

Auto Temp

Auto Temp

 

improves washing performance.  Water

temperature can be affected by the water heater setting
and its distance from the washer,  water usage in other
parts of the home and seasonally low ground water
temperatures in some geographic areas.  Because most
detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of 65°
F, select Auto Temp settings for regulated wash and final
rinse water temperatures.

Auto Temp Hot

120° F (Only if water heater
temperature is greater than 120° F.)

Auto Temp Warm

90° F

Auto Temp Cold

65° F

Cold

Temperature of cold tap water.

NOTE:

 Final rinse water temperatures are not regulated.

Spin Speed

Maximum, Fast, Medium and Slow speeds are available
for each cycle.  The final spin speed and or duration vary
from cycle to cycle.

Increasing spin speed will extract more water and

        decrease drying time.

Decreasing spin speed will reduce wrinkling.

Select  Slow spin speed 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  Spin Only to remove
excess water at a more convenient time.

Soil Level

Press Soil Level to increase or decrease the wash time.

Water Level

There is no need to select a water level. The washer
automatically adjusts the water level to the type and size of
wash load.

Cycle Options

To select or delete the Extra Rinse, Extended Spin or
Signal Volume, press Options until the blinking light
indicates the desired option.

   

Then,

 

while it is blinking,

press Select.  The indicator will light when the option has
been selected.  It will no longer be lighted when the option
has been deleted.  To provide the best care for your laundry
items, not every option is available with every cycle.

Stain Clean

Use the Stain Clean option to add a 5-minute soak in the
middle of the wash portion of any cycle except Quick and
Hand Wash.

Extra Rinse

Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to
remove excess dirt and detergent.  It is recommended for
heavily soiled loads or if household members have
sensitive skin. Extra Rinse occurs 

before 

the final rinse

when the liquid fabric softner is dispensed.

Extended Spin

Use this option to add several additional minutes to the
final spin at the selected speed. This will improve water
extraction and decrease drying time.

Signal Volume

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle this option is
selected.  The signal has an adjustable volume level or
can be turned off.
