Extra Rinse Cycle
Use
Extra Rinse
to remove excess detergent from
heavily soiled loads. Extra Rinse provides 3 minutes
of rinse agitation, then a 9 minute spin.
•
Select
Extra Rinse YES
to automatically include an
extra rinse at the end of the Whites/Regular cycle.
•
Select
Extra Rinse NO
to conserve water when an
extra rinse is not desired.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE
sets water temperatures
for washing and rinsing. Select wash water temperature
according to fiber content, soil level and type of detergent.
A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures
for basic fabric types.
LOAD SIZE
sets the amount of wash and rinse water for
the wash load. Select a water level appropriate for the
load size. There should be enough water for items to
move freely.
•
To increase water level after the wash cycle begins,
turn the Load Size control to Reset and hold. When
water begins to enter the tub, turn the control to the
desired setting.

of knit and delicate items.

washable items.
Soak & Prewash Cycle
Soak
•
Use Soak to treat heavily soiled or stained items. Soak
provides 3 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of
soaking time. The load then advances into the
Prewash portion of the cycle.
•
Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle. If desired, use bleach or a soaking
agent for colorfast items.
•
The Soak water temperature is the same as the rinse
water temperature selected.
•
Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Prewash
•
Use Prewash when soaking is not necessary. Prewash
helps remove protein-based stains such as milk, grass
and blood. It also helps loosen soils before washing.
Prewash provides 3 minutes of wash agitation.
•
Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle.
•
The Prewash water temperature is the same as the
wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting
protein stains, select cold water.
•
Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Energy Saving Tips
•
Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy.
Undersize loads waste energy.
•
When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use
lower water levels.
•
Select the appropriate cycle and time for each
load. Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.
•
To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed
to remove more water from heavy items such
as towels and jeans.
•
Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot
water washes to heavily soiled and white loads.
Use cold water for lightly soiled items and
rinsing.
•
Operate the washer in early morning and late
evening when utility demands are low.
•
Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid
rewashing.
