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 washer. 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 washer 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 Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 45 wash cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the "Cleaning your washer" section to run the clean washer cycle, or you can press the 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.") 9
