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. Use with AFFRESH™ washer cleaner tablet or liquid
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle should
not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer
cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum.
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.
Temperature Guide
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.
5. Press DELAY WASH. 1H (one hour) will be displayed in the time display window. The
