■ To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP
button until the desired setting glows green.
■
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until
the desired setting glows green.

desired setting glows green.
Water Temp
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.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
■ This washer has a Sanitize water temperature, that is certified by
NSF International, an independent third-party testing and
certification organization. The certification verifies that the
sanitizing cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria typically found on
clothing, bedding and towels, and there is no carryover of
bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
Certified to Sanitize
■
The Sanitize temperature provides an extra high temperature to
remove 99.9% of certain bacteria. It is recommended that you
set your hot water heater to 120ºF (49ºC) to ensure proper
performance during this cycle.
■ The Sanitize Water Temp uses high water temperatures. Please
check garment care label to avoid garment damage.
■ In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
6TH SENSE™ Technology
The 6TH SENSE™ Technology control electronically senses and
maintains a uniform water temperature. 6TH SENSE™ Technology
control regulates incoming hot and cold water. 6TH SENSE™
Technology control is automatically turned on when a cycle is
selected. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles." 6TH SENSE™
Technology control ensures consistent cleaning.
■ 6TH SENSE™ Technology control works for all wash
temperature settings.
■ 6TH SENSE™ Technology works for the rinse temperature
where the wash temperature setting is marked with an asterisk,
such as Warm*. All other rinse temperatures are cold.
