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.") ATC is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cool/Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold settings depends on the water temperature at the water inlet faucets. ■■ ATC ensures consistent cleaning. ■■ Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy that a washer uses. ■■ Today's detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F (15.6°C). Options Use these pads to select or deselect the options for your wash cycle. Options may add time to the wash cycle. Water Save Spray Rinse The Water Save Spray Rinse option reduces rinse water in the cycle. This option is available on most cycles and must be selected prior to the start of the cycle. Do not use liquid fabric softener with the Water Save Spray Rinse option. Select the Fabric Softener option if using liquid fabric softener to assure proper dispensing. Fabric Softener Fabric Softener option must be selected if liquid fabric softener is added to the fabric softener dispenser. Fabric softener will also be dispensed in the last rinse of the Extra Rinse cycle, if selected. This option flushes the dispenser at the correct time in a deep water rinse for optimal distribution. Extra Rinse An Extra Rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or bleach residue, or particulates such as sand and lint, from the load. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse. This is the default rinse setting for the Whites cycle. End Signal - Off - Low - Hi Cycle Volume The End Signal produces an audible sound when the wash cycle is finished. This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the washer as soon as it stops. Select Off, Low, or Hi for volume sound. Changing Cycles, Modifiers, and Options You can change Cycles, Modifiers, and Options anytime before Start/Pause is pressed. Not all Modifiers and Options are available for all cycles. ■■ A short tone sounds when a change is selected. If you press and hold the End Signal option for more than five seconds, all valid beeps will be eliminated. To turn the signals back on, press and hold the End Signal button for five seconds. ■■ Three short tones sound if an unavailable combination is selected. The last selection will not be accepted. ■■ To return all options and modifiers to Factory Default, press POWER/CANCEL, select Drain & Spin cycle, and then press Extra Rinse, Fabric Softener, Extra Rinse, Fabric Softener within 5 seconds. When done correctly, the 7-segment displays show "Fd" for 3 seconds and then unit returns to Standby Mode. Changing Cycles after pressing Start 1. Press POWER/CANCEL once to cancel the cycle.

Normal Sounds Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't. Because the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be concerned about them. These sounds are normal. During washing You will hear spin/spray noise throughout the cycle. During drain If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your installation), you may hear air being pulled through the pump during the end of draining. During wash and spin This washer does not have a transmission. The motor provides direct drive for agitation and spin. You will hear sounds that are different from those of a conventional washer. 10
