7. Set the water Temperature selector to the correct setting for

the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest

wash water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF (21ºC),

some detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to

remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have

increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the

surface of garments).

(OPTIONAL) An ACCUWASH™ Temperature Control System

electronically senses and maintains a uniform water

temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water.

■ Even in cold wash, some warm water is let into the

washer to maintain a minimum temperature of

approximately 70ºF (21ºC).

■ Warm wash is maintained at approximately 90°F (32°C).

■ Warm rinse is maintained at approximately 70ºF (21ºC) for

all warm rinse settings. To reduce wrinkling, the warm

rinse is regulated to be cooler than the warm wash.

8. (RINSE OPTIONS) You can customize your wash by adding

the Extra Rinse option to your cycle selections. A cycle will

“start” where you set the Cycle Selector Control knob. See

“Selecting a Cycle.” The cycle will “stop” where you set the

Extra Rinse control knob. This knob has settings for:

■ Off. Use this option for one rinse after a basic wash cycle,

Rinse & Spin, and Drain & Spin.

■ On. An Extra Rinse can be added to the Normal and

Whitest Whites cycles.

9. Set the Fabric Select control knob according to the type of

fabric in the load. See “Selecting Wash/Spin Speeds.”

10. Push in the Cycle Selector Control knob and turn it to the

wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a

small load size setting. See “Selecting a Cycle.”

Pull out the Cycle Selector Control knob to start the washer.

To stop or restart your washer

■ To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle Selector

Control knob.

■ To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out

the Cycle Selector Control knob.

Selecting a Cycle

This section describes the available wash cycles and will help

you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each

cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.

■ The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These

pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Sounds” to learn more

about the sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

■ Refer to “Understanding Washer Cycles” to learn what

happens during a wash cycle.

NOTE: Use this control to choose agitation time and to start the

washer. For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, use the full time. Use

less time for light soil and delicate fabrics.

CATALYST

Cleaning Action

Your washer uses the CATALYST

Cleaning Action to help ensure

better soil and stain removal from your wash load. CATALYST

Cleaning Action reduces the need for pretreatment and is safe for

all fabrics. The CATALYST

Cleaning Action is available in the

Whitest Whites and Normal cycles. Although CATALYST

Cleaning Action is available on all Fabric Select control settings,

for the best cleaning performance, select Cotton/Heavy when

selecting the Catalyst cycle option.

NOTE: To ad d CATALYST

Cleaning Action to your wash cycle,

you must set the Cycle Selector Control knob to the Catalyst

setting.

How CATALYST

Cleaning Action works

1. Before agitation begins, detergent is automatically released

into a special chamber that mixes the detergent with a small

amount of water to create a sudsy cleaning solution.

2. Spinning spreads out the clothes.

3. The cleaning solution showers onto the top of the fabrics. The

solution is pulled through the clothes, and the detergent

enzymes attach to soils and stains, lifting them away.

4. The washer fills to the selected water level and completes the

selected cycle.

NOTES:

■ For best results, the load should be dry at the start of the

cycle.

■ Stubborn and set-in stains might require additional

pretreatment.

Normal cycle

Use this cycle for most loads to get between 6 and 15 minutes of

wash time. For heavily soiled clothes, select the CATALYST

Cleaning Action cycle and Cotton/Heavy on the Fabric Select

control.
