WASH/RINSE
WATER TEMPERATURE
To change the temperature, press the Temperature button
to scroll to the desired setting. Select a wash water
temperature according to fiber content, colorfastness and
soil level. A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces
wrinkling.
For best
results
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be washed.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available
with every cycle. The indicator will not light if the setting
is not available with that cycle. The temperature
selected
for the cycle will be remembered and recalled each time
that cycle is selected in the future.

Washers
Auto Temp Hot/Cold
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast
cottons and blends.
Auto Temp Warm/Cold
Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast
cottons or blends.
Auto Temp Warm/Warm
(on select models)
Use this setting for washable woolens or when a warm
water rinse is desired.
Auto Temp Cold/Cold
Some warm water will automatically
blend with cold
tap supply to achieve a precise Auto Temp Cold. Use
this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits,
delicates, and hand washables.
Cold/Cold
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to
temperature
of cold tap supply. Use this temperature
selection for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye
transfer.
SPIN SPEED
Auto Temp wash water temperatures are automatically
regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and
improve washing performance. The water heater setting
and its distance from the washer, water usage in other
parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water
temperature
in some geographic areas can affect water
temperature.
Auto Temp _ Sanitize (on select models)
This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics
such as towels, bedding, and children's clothing by
killing 99.9% of bacteria using wash water heated with
a boost heater to 152° F (67 ° C). Cold water is used to
cool and rinse the load.
Maximum,
Fast, Medium
and Slow spin speeds are
available for each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration
of final spin vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water,
decrease drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing
the 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 the Spin Only cycle to
remove excess water at a more convenient time.
SOIL LEVEL
Adjust the wash time in 3-minute increments based on
the soil level of each load. Heavy, Normal,
and Light
Soil Levels are available.
