Select Water Temperature; Select Wash Time; Select Options; Automatic Presoak - Maytag LAT2300 Service Manual

Select Water Temperature
Household water heaters should be set
to deliver a minimum of 120°F. (49°C.)
water to the washer for the hot wash
setting. Other temperatures options are
thermostatically controlled by the
washer to assure consistent temper-
atures, improve cleaning and save
energy.
Note: Water below 65°F. is too cold to
dissolve and activate granular laundry
detergents.
A Warm Wash/Cold Rinse is automat-
ically selected with all wash cycles.
The water temperature can be changed
by pressing the WASH TEMP ADJUST
pad. There are five temperatures avail-
able as indicated by the thermometer
symbol in the Monitor. They are:
• HOT
• ENERGY SAVER HOT
• WARM
• ENERGY SAVER WARM
• COLD
Select Wash Time
The amount of time chosen will be dis-
played for approximately 10 seconds in
the Monitor when a cycle is first
selected.
Then the Time Monitor will convert to
the approximate total minutes
remaining in the cycle.
Select Options (if desired)
Options are selected by pressing the
pad once or canceled by pressing the
pad again.
Slow Spin
Pressing this pad provides a slow spin
speed on any cycle selected.

Pressing this pad cancels all selections
and stops the washer.

advance into a wash cycle without
draining.
The wash time can be increased or
decreased on any cycle by pressing the
~ pad to increase the time; or .... pad to
decrease the time, until the fill is com-
plete. The minutes of agitation will
count up or down one minute at a time
in the display.
