from heavily soiled loads. Extra Rinse provides 3 minutes of rinse agitation, then a 9 minute spin.
• Select Automatic Extra Rinse under Wash Cycle Options to automatically advance to Extra Rinse
after the Whites cycle is completed.

Wash Cycle Options to automatically advance to
Extra Rinse after the Soak & Prewash and Whites cycles are completed.

normal wash cycle. If desired, use bleach or a soaking agent for colorfast items.
• The Soak water temperature is the same as the
rinse water temperature selected.

normal amount of detergent.

Cycle Selection (continued)
Prewash
• Use Prewash when soaking is not necessary. Prewash
helps remove protein-based stains such as milk, grass and blood. It also helps loosen soils before washing. Prewash provides 3 minutes of wash agitation.
• Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle.
• The Prewash water temperature is the same as the
wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting protein stains, select cold water.
• Select the Agitate/Spin Speed appropriate for the
items being prewashed.
• Select Wash Cycle Option OFF if advancing into the
Whites cycle is not desired.
• Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Power Scrub Option
Select Power Scrub to automatically advance a load from the Soak or Prewash setting into the Whites wash and Extra Rinse cycles.
1. Add the measured amount of detergent to wash tub, then add wash load.
2. Select appropriate Wash/Rinse Temperature, Load Size, and Agitate/Spin Speed.
3. Select Power Scrub under Wash Cycle Options.
• To use a cycle other than Whites after the Soak or
Prewash settings, select OFF and manually advance cycle selector to cycle desired.
4. Fill fabric softener dispenser with the recommended amount of LIQUID detergent.
Add water to bring liquid level to fill line on dispenser cap.
• When selecting Power Scrub, the fabric softener
dispenser must be filled with diluted liquid detergent at the beginning of the Soak or Prewash setting. The detergent for the Whites cycle will then be dispensed after the spin in Prewash.
• DO NOT use powdered detergent in the dispenser.
• Clean the fabric softener dispenser thoroughly
after each use. Fabric softener and liquid detergent should not be mixed.

Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels. AGITATE/SPIN SPEEDS offers three agitation speeds
and four combinations of agitation and spin speeds for any cycle. The following chart suggests agitate/spin speeds for basic fabric types.
Fabric Type Agitate/Spin Speed
Regular Normal/Normal Perm Press Normal/Normal Knits Gentle/Normal Delicates / Washable woolens Gentle/Gentle Hand washables Extra Gentle/Gentle
WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE sets water temperatures for washing and rinsing. Select wash water temperature according to fiber content, soil level and type of detergent. A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
Precision Temp Control
The normal temperature of warm and cold wash water can be affected by the hot water heater setting and seasonally low ground water temperatures in some geographic areas. Since detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of 65° F, select a Precision Temp to regulate the temperature of the warm and cold wash water in any cycle.
Wash water in the Precision Temp Warm/Cold and Precision Temp Warm/Warm settings is regulated to approximately 90° F. and the wash water in the Precision Temp Cold/Cold setting is regulated to approximately 70° F. Rinse water temperatures are not regulated.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures for some typical wash loads.

LOAD SIZE sets the amount of wash and rinse water for the wash load. Select a water level appropriate for the load size. There should be enough water for items to move freely.
• To increase water level after the wash cycle begins, turn the Load Size control to Reset and hold. When water begins to enter the tub, turn the control to the desired setting.
Energy Saving Tips
• Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy.
Undersize loads waste energy.
• When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use lower water levels.
• Select the appropriate cycle and time for each load. Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.
• To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed to remove more water from heavy items such as towels and jeans.
• Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot water washes to heavily soiled and white loads. Use cold water for lightly soiled items and rinsing.
• Operate the washer in early morning and late evening when utility demands are low.
• Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid rewashing.
