items. Two rinses and two spins complete the cycle.

for this cycle.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
Note: There is no need to select a water level
because the washer automatically adjusts the
water level to the type and size of wash load.
TEMPERATURES - This determines water temperatures
for washing and rinsing. For example, the Warm/Cold
setting provides a warm water wash and a cold water
final rinse.
Note: Detergents are not as effective at wash water
temperatures below 65°F (18.3°C).
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures
for basic fabric types.

CYCLE SIGNAL - A signal will sound at the end of the
cycle when the Cycle Signal is set to ON. This can be
turned off by selecting OFF on the Cycle Signal switch.
INDICATOR LIGHTS will turn on during the
appropriate portions of each cycle: WASH, RINSE,
and FINAL SPIN. When the door is closed, the
Door Lock Indicator lights up when the cycle
selector knob is pulled out, and turns off at the end
of the cycle.
Auto Temp Control
The normal temperature of warm and cold wash water
can be affected by the hot water heater setting and
seasonally low ground water temperatures in some
geographic areas. Since detergents work best in wash
water at a minimum of 65° F, select an Auto Temp
Control to regulate the temperature of the warm and
cold wash water in any cycle.
Wash water in the Auto Temp Warm/Cold and Auto
Temp Warm/Warm settings is regulated to
approximately 100° F. and the wash water in the Auto
Temp Cold/Cold setting is regulated to approximately
70° F. Rinse water temperatures are not regulated.
EXTRA RINSE - Use Extra Rinse when additional
rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent
from heavily soiled loads.
Wash/Rinse
Temperature
• Select Extra Rinse YES to automatically include
an extra rinse in Whites/Regular, Colors/Perm
Hot/Cold
Press, or Delicates cycle.
• Select Extra Rinse NO to conserve water when
an extra rinse is not desired.
FINAL SPIN - There are three final spin speed
options available for each cycle. Note: The speeds
Cold/Cold*
will vary from cycle to cycle. For example, Regular
Fast spin speed is much faster than Delicate Fast
spin speed.
Warm/Warm*
• SLOW is recommended for hand washables and
items which may wrinkle easily.
• NORMAL is recommended for most loads.
• FAST provides a faster spin speed to increase
water extraction and decrease drying time.
