Safety Instructions
2nd Rinse Option (on some models)
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, you may want to
use the 2nd Rinse option. It provides a second deep cold rinse.
Extended Spin Option (on some models)
Use this option to extract more water from your clothes. Clothes will be drier when this
option is selected and will dry more quickly in your dryer.
Auto Soak (on some models)
This option adds a short agitation and soaking period at the beginning of the selected
wash cycle.
AutoTemp (on some models)
AutoTemp senses the incoming water temperature and adjusts the cold water temperature
to ensure that the incoming cold water is warm enough to dissolve the detergent.
Often, detergents are not completely dissolved in very cold water, especially in cooler climates. AutoTemp
