Modifiers
Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and
Rinse Options can be changed. You can change a modifier after
starting a cycle anytime before the selected Modifier begins. Not
all Modifiers are available with all options and cycles. Available
modifier settings will glow amber. Current selections will glow
green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light
will not illuminate.
■ To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button.
■ To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP
button until the desired setting glows green.
■ To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting glows green.
Wash Temp
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.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
■ Extra Hot is available only with the Sanitary cycle
■ In wash water 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” in “Cycles.”)
■ ATC works for the wash temperature with Extra Hot, Hot,
Warm, and Cool settings.
■ The Cold wash temperature depends on the cold water at
your faucet.
■ ATC works for the rinse temperature where the wash temp
setting is marked with an asterisk, such as Warm*. All other
rinse temperatures are cold.
