Soil Treat
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved soil
treatment. When Soil Treat is selected, the water temperature of
the selected wash cycle is automatically set to Hot/Cold. The
water will then be gradually heated to a hot water temperature to
aid in stain removal. This option will provide optimal removal of
organic stains such as blood.
NOTE: If Soil Treat is selected with the Sanitary cycle, the water
will be heated to an extra hot temperature.
Energy Saver
The Energy Saver option allows you to increase your energy
savings on the higher temperature cycles (White/Cotton and
Heavy Duty) while maintaining cleaning performance by
lengthening the wash time by only 10 minutes.
NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual
Cycle.
Hours Delay
To begin the wash cycle later select Hours Delay until the desired
delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining
display. Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will
show in the display window.
When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the
main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out
of the compartment during Delay, before the wash cycle begins.
Extra Spin
Use this option to add an additional spin to any cycle.
Cycle End Tone
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops.
Normal Rinse
Consists of a two phase rinsing process that is effective for
everyday laundry.
Extra Rinse
A second rinse can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.
Extended Rinse
This option provides the best rinse level, to allow for even better
detergent removal.
Modifiers
Preset cycle settings of water Temperature, Wash/Rinse, and
Spin Speed can be changed. You can change a modifier after
starting a cycle anytime before the selected Modifier begins. Not
all Modifiers are available with all options and cycles.
To change cycle time, select the SOIL LEVEL button until the
desired setting illuminates.
To change the water temperature, select the TEMP button
until the desired setting illuminates.
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting illuminates.
Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest water safe for fabrics. Follow garment
label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
Temperature Guide
*When used with Soil Treat option, the water is heated gradually
to assist in the removal of organic soils such as blood.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
