OPTIONS AND MODIFIERS

Extended Spin

Use this option to increase the final spin period by 1 minute
during the final spin.

Gentle Spin

Each cycle has a preset spin speed. To reduce the final spin
speed, select the GENTLE SPIN button.

Wash Temp

Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To change
the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until
the desired setting is illuminated.

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.

save energy.

Temperature Guide

In wash temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

Auto Temp Control

ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains
a uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and
cold water. The ATC is automatically turned ON when a cycle
is selected. See Preset Cycle Settings table in

“Cycles.”

• ATC works for the wash temperature with Warm and

Cold settings.

• The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at
your faucet.

See “Options and Modifiers” in the Use and Care Guide for

more information on customizing your wash.

Not all Options are available with all cycles.

for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection.

option will be illuminated when selected.

Prewash

Prewash is an 18-minute soak phase that is added before the
main wash. During prewash, there is only a small amount of

tumbling.

Extra Rinse

An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an
additional rinse with the same water temperature as in the
normal rinse. You may select or deselect by pressing EXTRA
RINSE.

Wrinkle Release

Use this option to increase the quantity of incoming water and
decrease the spin speed and duration in the rinse period. The
last spin phase will have a lower spin speed and last a shorter
time.
