Auto Soak
Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen,
polyester or nylon with set-in stains. During Auto Soak, water will
be added to the drum and the laundry will be equally distributed
by a short tumbling phase. Laundry will then be soaked by
phases without drum movement. After soaking, the washer
drains without spinning.
Added to a Wash Cycle: A 30 minute soak time is added to the
main wash cycle to improve removal of set-in stains.
1. Add detergent to both the Prewash and Main Wash
compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.
NOTE: The Auto Soak and Prewash options cannot be
selected in the same cycle. Use powdered detergent for the
main wash cycle because liquid detergent will seep into the
washer during Auto Soak.
2. Select a Wash Cycle.
3. Select AUTO SOAK.
NOTE: For cycles with hot wash temperatures, the soak
temperature will be set to warm; otherwise, the soak
temperature will be the same as the wash temperature.
4. Select and hold START (approximately 1 second). After
soaking, the washer drains and the wash cycle starts.
Without a Wash Cycle: Provides a soak time with warm or cold
water followed by drain,
1. Add detergent only to the Prewash compartment of the
Dispenser Drawer.
2. Select DRAIN/SPIN or RINSE/SPIN first, then AUTO SOAK.
3. Choose the desired soak temperature.
4. Select and hold START (approximately 1 second).
2nd Rinse
A second rinse can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.
Extended Spin
Use this option to add an additional spin to any cycle to improve
the “fluff” of your laundry, to reduce drying time, and to save
energy.
Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Wash/Rinse, and
Spin Speed can be changed. You can change a modifier affer
starting a cycle anytime before the selected Modifier begins. Not
all Modifiers are available with all options and cycles.
M odifiers
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting glows.

Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest water safe for fabrics. Follow garment
label instructions.
Warm rinses ieave the ioads 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.

In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Auto Temp Controi
АТС (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. АТС regulates incoming hot and cold
water. The АТС is automatically turned ON when a cycle is
selected. (See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”)
■ АТС ensures consistent cleaning.
■ АТС works for the wash temperature with Extra Hot/Cold,
Hot/Cold, Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold settings.
■ The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at
your faucet.
■ For the Tap Cold/Cold setting, both wash and rinse
temperatures depend on the cold water at your faucet.
■ The Warm rinse setting regulates the water temperature at
approximately 104°F (40°C).
To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP
button until the desired setting glows.
