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
Wash Water Temperature Suggested Fabrics
Hot Whites and pastels
Warm Bright colors
Cold Colors that bleed or fade
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difcult to remove.
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.
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 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 with the wash options selected.
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.
Auto Temperature Control
Auto Temperature 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 depends 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).

Options
Use these pads to select or deselect the options for your wash
cycle. Options may add time to the wash cycle.
Water Save Spray Rinse
The Water Save Spray Rinse option reduces rinse water in the
cycle. This option is available on most cycles and must be selected
prior to the start of the cycle. Do not use liquid fabric softener
with the Water Save Spray Rinse option. Select the Fabric Softener
option if using liquid fabric softener to assure proper dispensing.
Oxi Treat Stains
This washer is designed to dispense laundry boosters such as
oxygenated stain treaters and color-safe bleach at the right time
in the cycle for best cleaning performance. Do not use laundry
boosters and chlorine bleach in the same cycle.
Clean Boost with Heater
The Clean Boost with Heater option helps to ensure better soil
and stain removal. Clean Boost uses a heater within the washer
to maintain the selected temperature setting throughout the wash
period. This option will add some additional time to the cycle
based on which temperature is selected. It is a preset cycle setting
on the Sanitary and Super Wash cycles.
Clean Boost with Heater may be selected as an option with other
cycles. See table for details.
