Max ExtractTM

Use this option to add an additional spin to any cycle to improve drying times for some heavy fabrics by reducing excess water, which may save energy.

Extra Rinse

A second 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 normal rinse. This is the default rinse setting for the Whitest Whites cycle.

Soak Time

Use the Soak Time option to remove small spots or stains on fabrics. This option provides up to a 30-minute soak time prior to the start of the selected cycle.

Modifiers

Preset cycle settings of Soil Level (cycle time), Wash Temperature, and Spin Speed can be changed. You can change these settings by using modifiers. Modifiers can be changed before or during the cycle until that part of the cycle starts. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and options.

„To change Soil Level (cycle time), select the SOIL LEVEL button until the desired setting illuminates.

„To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the desired setting illuminates.

„To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting illuminates.

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 drier than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.

„In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

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

Automatic Temperature Control

The automatic temperature control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. Automatic temperature control regulates incoming hot and cold water. Automatic temperature control is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected. See “Preset Cycle Settings” in Cycles.

„Automatic temperature control works for all wash and rinse temperature settings.
