Operating Instructions
Safety Instructions
During winter months, when the water entering your home is colder, or for locations with very cold water year round,
use the PerfecTemp plus COLD to help dissolve powdered detergents and to improve the cleaning of your clothes.
The TAP COLD feature turns the PerfecTemp feature on your washer off and uses your household tap water
temperature for a COLD wash. This can provide energy savings by reducing the amount of hot water used in your
wash.
Options
Autosoak Option (on some models)
This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle
automatically. On some models, this option is located on the Cycle Selector knob.
2nd Rinse Option (on some models)
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, you may want to use the 2nd Rinse option.
It provides a second deep cold rinse.
Extended Spin Option (on some models)
Use this option to extract more water from your clothes. Clothes will be drier when this option is selected and will dry
more quickly in your dryer.
Fabric Softener
Set this option when adding fabric softener to the washer.
NOTE: Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls with this washer. They do not work correctly in high-efficiency
washers.
Estimated Time Remaining Display
■ Displays the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle.
■ If the estimated time remaining is more than 60 minutes, “1H” will flash in the display followed by the additional
remaining minutes. When the time remaining is less than 60 minutes, the timer will count down.
■ Cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home.
The “smart” timer “learns” the amount of time it takes to fill your washer and adjusts the total time accordingly.
Wash Cycle—Cycle Selector Knob
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The knob can be turned in either direction. Turning the Cycle
Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and reset the cycle to the new selection. Press START
to begin the new cycle selection.
