Cycle Selection
(continued)
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 Agitate/Spin Speed appropriate for the
items being prewashed.
• Select Wash Cycle Option OFF if advancing into the
Whites cycle is not desired.
• Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Power Scrub Option
Select Power Scrub to automatically advance a load
from the Soak or Prewash setting into the Whites wash
and Extra Rinse cycles.
1. Add the measured amount of detergent to wash
tub, then add wash load.
2. Select appropriate Wash/Rinse Temperature,
Load Size, and Agitate/Spin Speed.
3. Select Power Scrub under Wash Cycle Options.
• To use a cycle other than Whites after the Soak or
Prewash settings, select OFF and manually advance
cycle selector to cycle desired.
4. Fill fabric softener dispenser with the
recommended amount of LIQUID detergent.
Add water to bring liquid level to fill line on dispenser
cap.
• When selecting Power Scrub, the fabric softener
dispenser must be filled with diluted liquid detergent
at the beginning of the Soak or Prewash setting.
The detergent for the Whites cycle will then be
dispensed after the spin in Prewash.
• DO NOT use powdered detergent in the dispenser.
• Clean the fabric softener dispenser thoroughly
after each use. Fabric softener and liquid detergent
should not be mixed.
5. Set the cycle selector at Soak or Prewash and
pull knob to start. The washer will provide Soak
or Prewash as selected. It then automatically
advances to the full Whites cycle and Extra Rinse
cycle.
Automatic Extra Rinse Option
Select Automatic Extra Rinse or Power Scrub/Extra
Rinse to provide an extra rinse at the end of the Whites
cycle.

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.
Precision 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 a Precision Temp
to regulate the temperature of the warm and cold wash
water in any cycle.
Wash water in the Precision Temp Warm/Cold and
Precision Temp Warm/Warm settings is regulated to
approximately 90° F. and the wash water in the Precision
Temp Cold/Cold setting is regulated to approximately
70° F. Rinse water temperatures are not regulated.
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
some typical wash loads.

Energy Saving Tips
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.
