Clean Washer with AffRESH ™
Use the Clean Washer with AFFRESH ™ cycle once a month to keep
the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher
water level. Use with AFFRESH ® washer cleaner tablet or liquid
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing
machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your
Washer.”
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer with AFFRESH ™ cycle. Use this cycle with
an empty wash tub.
Rinse & Spin
Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed spin.
The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take
to fill and drain the washer.
When to use RINSE & SPIN:
For loads that need rinsing only.
■ ■
For completing a cycle after the power has been off. The
■ ■
machine will return to pause mode if the power was interrupted
or unplugged while cycle was running.
Drain & Spin
Drain & Spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics
or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be used for draining
the washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a
power failure.
Additional features
These lights show when the cycle is complete, they indicate when
you can add other garments to the wash load, and remind you
when it’s time to clean the washer.
Indicator lights
An indicator light shows which Cycle, Modifiers, and Options you
have selected.
Clean Washer Reminder

without a clean washer cycle. See the “Cleaning your washer”
section to run the clean washer cycle, or you can press Reminder
Reset button to manually reset clean washer cycle counter.
Estimated Time Remaining
When a wash cycle is started, the estimated time remaining for the
cycle, including fills and drains, will be displayed. The time will
count down to the end of the cycle.
Modifiers
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy.
Wash Temp/Rinse 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 drier and more comfortable to handle
than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase wrinkling.
Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.
Temperature Guide
Wash Water Temperature Suggested fabrics
Hot Whites and pastels
Warm Bright colors
Cold Colors that bleed or fade
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle
selected. The preset speeds can be changed. Spin speeds may vary by
cycle.
Soil Level
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset
Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press the Soil Level pad,
the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time
Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To get
the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light
next to Light illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available
for that cycle with the wash options selected.
For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset cycle
■ ■
settings.
For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select
■ ■
more wash time, if needed.
For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less
■ ■
wash time, if needed.
Auto Temperature Control
Auto Temperature Control (ATC) electronically senses and
maintains a uniform wash and rinse 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.”)
