stain Treat
Use this option for heavily soiied loads that need improved stain
treatment. When Stain Treat is seiected, the water temperature of
the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water
will then be heated to a hot water temperature to aid in stain
removal. This option will provide optimal removal of organic
stains such as blood.
NOTE: If Stain Treat is selected with the Sanitary cycle, the water
will be heated to a very hot temperature.
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
drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by
reducing excess water, which may save energy.
Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Wash/Rinse, and
Spin Speed can be changed. You can change a modifier after
starting a cycle anytime before the selected Modifier begins. Not
all Modifiers are available with all options and cycles.

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