Auto Soak

Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen, polyester or nylon with set-in stains. During Auto Soak, water will be added to the drum and the laundry will be equally distributed by a short tumbling phase. Laundry will then be soaked by phases without drum movement. After soaking, the washer drains without spinning.

Added to a Wash Cycle: A 30 minute soak time is added to the main wash cycle to improve removal of set-in stains.

1.Add detergent to both the Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.

NOTE: The Auto Soak and Prewash options cannot be selected in the same cycle. Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle because liquid detergent will seep into the washer during Auto Soak.

2, Select a Wash Cycle.

3.Select AUTO SOAK.

NOTE: For cycles with hot wash temperatures, the soak temperature will be set to warm; otherwise, the soak temperature will be the same as the wash temperature.

4.Select and hold START (approximately 1 second). After soaking, the washer drains and the wash cycle starts.

Without a Wash Cycle: Provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain.

1.Add detergent only to the Prewash compartment of the Dispenser Drawer.

2.Select DRAIN/SPIN or RINSE/SPIN first, then AUTO SOAK.

3.Choose the desired soak temperature.

4.Select and hold START (approximately 1 second).

2nd Rinse

A second rinse can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.

Extended Spin

Use this option to add an additional spin to any cycle to improve the "fluff" of your laundry, to reduce drying time, and to save energy.

Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Wash/Rinse, and Spin Speed can be changed. You can change a modifier after starting a cycle anytime before the selected Modifier begins. Not all Modifiers are available with all options and cycles.

Wash/Rinse Temp

Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest 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.

In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21 °C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

Auto Temp Control

ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold water. The ATC is automatically turned ON when a cycle is selected. (See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles.")

ATC ensures consistent cleaning.

ATC works for the wash temperature with Extra Hot/Cold, Hot/Cold, Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold settings.

The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at your faucet.

For the Tap Cold/Cold setting, both wash and rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at your faucet.

The Warm rinse setting regulates the water temperature at approximately 104°F (40°C).
