Normal Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation. See “Troubleshooting.”
Options and Modifiers
You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are available with all cycles.
Wash Temp
Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the desired setting is illuminated.
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.
The water temperature for all rinse cycles is cold. Cold rinses save energy.

■See the “Laundry Guide” section for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection.
■If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will illuminate when selected.
■If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a short tone and the light for that option will not illuminate when selected.
Delay Wash
Use this to begin the wash cycle later.
■Select DELAY WASH until the desired time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display.
■Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.
Extra Rinse
An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as in the normal rinse. It is a preset setting for the Whitest Whites cycle. You may select or deselect by pressing EXTRA RINSE.
Prewash
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled garments that need pretreatment.
■Add detergent to the Main Wash Compartment of the dispenser drawer.
This option adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle. The washer continues automatically from prewash into the main wash cycle.
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
ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold water. The ATC is automatically turned ON when a cycle is selected. See Preset Cycle Settings table in “Cycles.”
■ATC works for the wash temperature with Warm and Cold settings.
■The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at your faucet.
SPIN SPEED
Each cycle has a preset SPIN SPEED. To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting is illuminated.
End of Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the washer as soon as it stops. Select ON or OFF.
