6.Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

Your washer uses the ACCUWASHautomatic temperature control. The ACCUWASH feature maintains uniform wash temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning results.

The Energy Saving Wash switch reduces hot wash temperatures when it is turned "ON". Turn the Energy Saving Wash switch "ON" to save energy when using the hot wash temperature settings. The hot wash temperature will be maintained at approximately 100F (38C).

NOTE: Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on or the ACCUWASH feature will not work properly.

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF (21ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments).

Selecting a Cycle and Time

This section describes the available wash cycles and will help you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.

The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Washer Sounds” to learn more about the sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

Refer to “Understanding Washer Cycles” to learn what happens during a wash cycle.

Normal cycle

This cycle features high-speed agitation for cleaning cottons and linens, and high spin speed to shorten drying time. Select up to 15 minutes of wash time, depending on whether your load is lightly, moderately or heavily soiled. For lightly soiled cotton and linen fabrics, use the shortest time setting.

Casual/Permanent Press cycle

This cycle starts with high-speed agitation and then steps to low- speed agitation for cleaning permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a cool-down rinse and a low-speed final spin. Use this cycle to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.

Extra Delicate cycle

This cycle features extra low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal from delicate items and washable knits. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Select 3 or 6 minutes of wash time, depending on your model, to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.

Hand Washables cycle

This cycle features a series of brief, low speed agitations and short soaks to gently clean special-care items. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Wash small loads. If items appear to be floating (due to trapped air), stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle Control knob. Push items down into the washer. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to restart the washer.
