Steam Clean
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment or loads with
multiple types of stains. When Steam Clean is selected, the water temperature of the selected
wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to the
temperature selected, along with steam, to aid in stain removal. This option will provide
optimal removal of organic stains such as blood and temperature-sensitive stains such as oil,
in the same cycle. This option is available on the following cycles: Normal/Casual, Heavy
Duty, and Whitest Whites.
Extra Rinse
A second 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 the
normal rinse. This is the default rinse setting for the Whitest Whites cycle.
Ml IfW
Preset cycle settings of Soil Level (cycle time). Wash Temperature, and Spin Speed can be
changed. You can change these settings by using modifiers. Modifiers can be changed before
or during the cycle until that part of the cycle starts. Not all modifiers are available with all
cycles and options.

To change Soil Level (cycle time), select the SOIL I I \ 11 button until the desired setting
illuminates.
To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the desired setting
illuminates.
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting
illuminates.
Water Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash
water safe for fabrics. Pol low garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold
climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
■ Cycles certified by NSE International, an independent, third party testing and certification
organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification
verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding,
and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
Certified to Sanitize
■ The Sanitize water temperature provides an extra high temperature wash to remove
99.9% of certain bacteria. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to
120°E (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
■ The Sanitize water temperature is extremely hot. Please check garment care labels to
avoid garment damage.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°E (1 5.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well.
Soils may be difficult to remove. Only cycles with sanitize wash temperature selected
have been designed to meet the requirements of NSE Protocol PI 72 for Sanitizing
Eifficacy.

Automatic Temperature Control
The automatic temperature control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature. Automatic temperature control regulates incoming hot and cold water.
Automatic temperature control is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.
See "Preset Cycle Settings" in Cycles.
■ Automatic temperature control works for all wash and rinse temperature settings.
