Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label or instructions when
laundering.
PerfecTemp senses the incoming water temperature and adjusts the fill water to obtain a more precise temperature range for all
wash temperatures. For example, in a COLD wash selection, some warm water may be added to reach a temperature needed to
better dissolve detergents. Often, detergents are not completely dissolved in very cold water, especially in cooler climates.
During winter months, when the water entering your home is colder, or for locations with very cold water year round, use the
PerfecTemp plus COLD to help dissolve powdered detergents and to improve the cleaning of your clothes.
The TAP COLD feature turns the PerfecTemp feature on your washer off and uses your household tap water temperature for a COLD
wash. This can provide energy savings by reducing the amount of hot water used in your wash. Cold water will be added to hot water
to optimize performance.

Settings
Autosoak Option (on some models)
This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically.
On some models, this option is located on the Cycle Selector knob.
2nd Rinse Option (on some models)
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, you may want to use the 2nd Rinse option.
It provides an enhanced second cold rinse.
Extended Spin Option (on some models)
Use this option to extract more water from your clothes. Clothes will be drier when this option is selected and will dry more quickly in
your dryer.
Fabric Softener
Set this option when adding fabric softener to the washer.
