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 hot wash water can be affected by the hot water heater setting and seasonally low ground water temperatures in some geographic areas. To conserve energy, the wash water in the
Precision Temp Hot/Cold
setting is regulated to approximately 100° F. Rinse water temperatures are not regulated.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures for some typical wash loads.

Soak & Prewash Cycle
Soak
Use Soak to treat heavily soiled or stained items. Soak provides 3 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of soaking time. The load then advances into the Prewash portion of the cycle. Use the amount of detergent recommended for a 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.
Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle using the normal amount of detergent.
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.
Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the normal amount of detergent.
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.
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.
