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.
If a cold rinse is selected, the washer will fill
with cold water during rinse, followed by a cold
spray rinse during final spin. If a warm rinse is
selected, the washer will fill with cold water
during rinse, followed by a warm spray rinse
during final spin.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse
temperatures for basic fabric types.

of knit and delicate 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.
•
Select the Wash/Spin Speed appropriate for the items
being soaked.
•
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.
•
Select the Wash/Spin Speed appropriate for the items
being prewashed.
•
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.

appropriate for the load size. There should be
enough water for items to move freely.
