Wash / Rinse Water Temperatures
Select a wash water temperature according to fiber content, colorfastness and soil level. For best results, follow the care label instructions and use the hottest water safe for the fabric. A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
•Hot/Cold Heavily soiled, white/colorfast cotton and perm press loads.
•Warm/Cold Normally soiled, white/colorfast cotton and perm press loads.
•Cold/Cold Lightly soiled,
•Warm/Warm Washable woolens.
Auto Temperature Control Water temperature selections with this symbol can improve washing performance. Water temperature can be affected by the water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home and seasonally low ground water temperatures in some geographic areas. Because most detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of 65° F, select settings with the
symbol for regulated wash and final rinse water temperatures.
Hot | 115° F (Only if water heater temperature is greater |
| than 115° F.) |
Warm | 78° F |
Cold | 65° F |
Final Spin Speed
The High, Medium and Low spin speeds have been developed for each cycle. The speeds will vary from cycle to cycle. For example, High Speed in the Normal cycle is much faster than High Speed in the Handwash cycle.
•Increasing spin speed will extract more water and decrease drying time.
•Decreasing spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
•HANG DRY is available with some cycles to gently spin items that should not be machine dried.
•Use NO SPIN to omit the final spin at the end of the cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash drum to drip dry or select Drain/Spin to remove excess water at a more convenient time.
Soil Level
Select Heavy SOIL to increase the wash time in some cycles.
Cycle | Heavy SOIL |
Heavy | + 2 minutes |
Normal | + 2 minutes |
Perm Press | + 2 minutes |
Water Level
There is no need to select a water level. The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the type and size of wash load.
Cycle Options
To select or delete the Press Saver, Extra Rinse, Extra Spin or Cycle Signal, press OPTIONS until the blinking light indicates the desired option. Then, while it is blinking, press Select. The indicator will light when the option has been selected. It will no longer be lighted when the option has been deleted. To provide the best care for your laundry items, not every option is available with every cycle.
Press Saver
Adding the Press Saver option alters the spin pattern of the cycle to further reduce wrinkling.
NOTE: Use only with light or delicate items.
Extra Rinse
Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin. Extra Rinse occurs before the final rinse when the liquid fabric softner is dispensed.
Extra Spin
Use this option to add several additional minutes to the final spin at the selected speed. This will improve water extraction and decrease drying time.
Cycle Signal
A signal will sound at the end of the cycle when the cycle signal is selected.
