Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to this cleaning cycle. Use only liquid chlorine bleach. Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash tub.
Modifiers
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy.
Soil Level
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light next to Light illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available for that cycle.
■For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset cycle settings.
■For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if needed.
■For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed. Spin speeds may vary by cycle.
Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable to handle than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Auto Temp Control
Auto Temp Control (ATC) electronically senses and maintains a uniform wash and rinse 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 is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cool/Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold settings depend on the water temperature at the water inlet faucets.
■ATC ensures consistent cleaning.
■Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy that a washer uses.
■Today’s detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F (15.6°C).
Delay Wash
You can use the Delay Wash feature to delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 10 hours (depending on your model).
1.Load the washer and fill the dispensers.
2.Close the washer lid.
3.Press POWER.
4.Select the desired Cycle, Modifiers and Options.
