Rinse/Spin or Spin only

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is needed. The Rinse/Spin option may also be used for items that need rinsing only or for completing a cycle after a power failure.

An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water. The Spin option may also be used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a power failure.

SMART BLEACH™ Timed Bleach Dispenser

The timed bleach dispenser automatically dispenses liquid chlorine bleach to the wash load at the appropriate time during the cycle to help ensure the cleanest and brightest loads. Bleach is dispensed into the wash load a few minutes after agitation begins in order to give the detergent time to achieve the best soil and stain removal.

NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach to your wash load. The dispenser is for liquid chlorine bleach only.

ACCUWASH™TemperatureControl System

Your washer uses ACCUWASH temperature control system. The ACCUWASH feature maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at approximately 75ºF (24ºC). The warm wash is maintained at approximately 100ºF (38ºC).

When you select a cycle, the washer selects the recommended ACCUWASH setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed.

NOTES:

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

The wash and rinse water temperature for Hot/Cold are not regulated with the ACCUWASH feature.

The ACCUWASH feature can be turned Off by pressing On/Off.

Self-Cleaning LintFilter

Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during agitation, separating the lint from the water. The lint spins out of the system during the spin part of the cycle. If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected in the tub or strainer.

WASHER CARE

CleaningYour Washer

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new.

Cleaning the interior

Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.

NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

Cleaning the dispensers

The dispensers are self-cleaning. If the liquid fabric softener dispenser needs cleaning, scrub with a brush using a liquid laundry detergent solution.

IMPORTANT:

Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

Never use any cleaning fluids on dispenser parts. This can cause damage to the plastic.
