OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cycle Settings, continued
This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available
on every model. Console shown above for reference only. Your model may differ.
The temperature selected for the cycle will be remembered
and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future. To
return to factory settings, press the Start/Pause and Select
buttons at the same time and hold until the signal sounds.
NOTE
To change the temperature once the cycle has begun,
press the Start/Pause button, make the new selection
and press Start/Pause again.
Auto Temp wash water temperatures are automatically
regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and
improve washing performance. The water heater setting
and its distance from the washer, water usage in other
parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water
temperature in some geographic areas can affect water
temperature.
Auto Temp
Sanitize (on select models)
This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics
such as towels, bedding, and children’s clothing by
killing 99.9% of bacteria using wash water heated with
a boost heater to 152° F (67° C). Cold water is used to
cool and rinse the load.

NOTE
This setting has been certified by NSF International,
an independent third party testing and certification
organization dedicated to public health, safety and
environmental protection.
Auto Temp Hot/Cold
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast
cottons and blends.
Auto Temp Warm/Cold
Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast
cottons or blends.
Auto Temp Warm/Warm (on select models)
Use this setting for washable woolens or when a warm
water rinse is desired.
Auto Temp Cold/Cold
Some warm water will automatically blend with cold
tap supply to achieve a precise Auto Temp Cold. Use
this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits,
delicates, and hand washables.
Cold/Cold
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to
temperature of cold tap supply. Use this temperature
selection for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye
transfer.
SPIN SPEED
Maximum, Fast, Medium and Slow spin speeds are
available for each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration
of final spin vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water,
decrease drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing
the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
Select Slow spin speed to gently spin items that should
be line dried.
Use No Spin to omit the final spin at the end of the cycle.
The load will be very wet. Remove items from the wash
drum to drip dry or select the Spin Only cycle to remove
excess water at a more convenient time.
