2nd Rinse Option (on some models)
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, you may want to
use the 2nd Rinse option. It provides a second deep cold rinse.
Extended Spin Option (on some models)
Use this option to extract more water from your clothes. Clothes will be drier when this
option is selected, and will dry more quickly in your dryer.
AutoTemp (on some models)
AutoTemp
senses the incoming water temperature and adjusts the cold water temperature
to ensure that the incoming cold water is warm enough to dissolve the detergent.
Often, detergents are not completely dissolved in very cold water, especially in cooler climates.

Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches into your wash load.
Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.
■
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
■
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach
dispenser. Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered
bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.
■
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on
the inside of the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.

following solution:

1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water
■
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy duty liquid detergent
■
1 cup (240 ml) bleach
If necessary, loosen build-up with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff
