Auto Temp Control
Auto Temp Control electronically senses and maintains a uniform wash and rinse water
temperature. Auto Temp Control regulates incoming hot and cold water and is automatically
turned on when a cycle is selected. (See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles.")
Auto Temp Control is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cold/Cold settings. The
water temperature in the Hot/Cold setting depends on the water temperature at the water inlet
faucets.
Auto Temp Control ensures consistent cleaning.
Today's detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F (15.6°C).

Stain Cycle
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough stains. The Heavy Duty cycle
automatically includes Stain Cycle. Choosing Stain Cycle will add approximately 10 minutes
to a cycle. Stain Cycle should be started on a dry load only and cannot be selected after the
tub has started filling with water.
Stain Cycle may be selected as an option with other cycles. See table for details.

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 the first rinse.
This is the default rinse setting for the Whites cycle.
Pre Soak
Use this option for set-in stains and soil that need extra time for removal. Soaking in this
washer is different than in a conventional washer. The washer sprays the load with water and
detergent at extra-low spin speed followed by a brief pause. This action is repeated. Pre Soak
cycles through a series of sprays followed by a pause to allow the detergent to work on the
soils. The Pre Soak feature is followed by the selected cycle. Using Pre Soak will extend your
wash cycle.
