Extra Rinse
An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal
of detergent or bleach residue from garments.
This option provides an additional rinse with the
same water temperature as in the normal rinse.
It is a preset setting for the Whitest Whites
cycle. You may select or deselect by pressing
EXTRA RINSE.
Prewash
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled gar-
ments that need pretreatment.
• Add detergent to the Main Wash Compart-
ment of the dispenser drawer.
• Use powdered detergent to keep laundry
additives from predispensing into the wash
system.
This option adds tumbling time prior to the
selected main cycle. The washer continues
automatically from prewash into the main wash
cycle.
Wash Temp
Each cycle has a preset water temperature
setting. To change the water temperature, se-
lect the WASH TEMP button until the desired
setting is illuminated.
Select a water temperature based on the type
of load you are washing. Use the warmest
wash water safe for fabrics. Follow garment
label instructions.
The water temperature for all rinse cycles is
cold. Cold rinses save energy.

In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F
(15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils

Auto Temp Control
ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses
and maintains a uniform water temperature.
ATC regulates incoming hot and cold water.
The ATC is automatically turned ON when a
cycle is selected. See Preset Cycle Settings

Warm and Cold settings.

SPEED button until the desired setting is il-
