•Clean the fabric softener dispenser thoroughly

after each use. Fabric softener and liquid detergent

should not be mixed.

5. Set the cycle selector at Soak or Prewash and

pull knob to start. The washer will provide Soak

or Prewash as selected. It then automatically

advances to the full Whites cycle and Extra Rinse

cycle.

Automatic Extra Rinse Option

Select Automatic Extra Rinse or Power Scrub/Extra

Rinse to provide an extra rinse at the end of the Whites

cycle.

Controls

Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.

AGITATE/SPIN SPEEDS offers three agitation speeds

and four combinations of agitation and spin speeds for

any cycle. The following chart suggests agitate/spin

speeds for basic fabric types.

WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE sets water temperatures

for washing and rinsing. Select wash water temperature

according to fiber content, soil level and type of detergent.

A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.

Precision Temp Control

The normal temperature of warm and cold wash water

can be affected by the hot water heater setting and

seasonally low ground water temperatures in some

geographic areas. Since detergents work best in wash

water at a minimum of 65° F, select a Precision Temp

to regulate the temperature of the warm and cold wash

water in any cycle.

Wash water in the Precision Temp Warm/Cold and

Precision Temp Warm/Warm settings is regulated to

approximately 90° F. and the wash water in the Precision

Temp Cold/Cold setting is regulated to approximately

70° F. Rinse water temperatures are not regulated.

Cycle Selection (continued)

Prewash

•Use Prewash when soaking is not necessary. Prewash

helps remove protein-based stains such as milk, grass

and blood. It also helps loosen soils before washing.

Prewash provides 3 minutes of wash agitation.

•Use the amount of detergent recommended for a

normal wash cycle.

•The Prewash water temperature is the same as the

wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting

protein stains, select cold water.

•Select the Agitate/Spin Speed appropriate for the

items being prewashed.

•Select Wash Cycle Option OFF if advancing into the

Whites cycle is not desired.

•Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the

normal amount of detergent.

Power Scrub Option

Select Power Scrub to automatically advance a load

from the Soak or Prewash setting into the Whites wash

and Extra Rinse cycles.

1. Add the measured amount of detergent to wash

tub, then add wash load.

2. Select appropriate Wash/Rinse Temperature,

Load Size, and Agitate/Spin Speed.

3. Select Power Scrub under Wash Cycle Options.

•To use a cycle other than Whites after the Soak or

Prewash settings, select OFF and manually advance

cycle selector to cycle desired.

4. Fill fabric softener dispenser with the

recommended amount of LIQUID detergent.

Add water to bring liquid level to fill line on dispenser

cap.

•When selecting Power Scrub, the fabric softener

dispenser must be filled with diluted liquid detergent

at the beginning of the Soak or Prewash setting.

The detergent for the Whites cycle will then be

dispensed after the spin in Prewash.

• DO NOT use powdered detergent in the dispenser.

The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures for

some typical wash loads.

LOAD SIZE sets the amount of wash and rinse water for the

wash load. Select a water level appropriate for the load size.

There should be enough water for items to move freely.

• To increase water level after the wash cycle begins, turn the

Load Size control to Reset and hold. When water begins to

enter the tub, turn the control to the desired setting.

•Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy. Undersize

loads waste energy.

•When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use lower water

levels.

•Select the appropriate cycle and time for each load. Shorten

wash times for lightly soiled loads.

•To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed to remove

more water from heavy items such as towels and jeans.

•Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot water washes

to heavily soiled and white loads. Use cold water for lightly

soiled items and rinsing.

•Operate the washer in early morning and late evening

when utility demands are low.

•Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid rewashing.
