Wash/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. In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove. 6TH SENSE™ Technology The 6TH SENSE™ Technology control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. 6TH SENSE™ Technology control regulates incoming hot and cold water. 6TH SENSE™ Technology control is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles." 6TH SENSE™ Technology control ensures consistent cleaning. ■ 6TH SENSE™ Technology control works for all wash temperature settings.

The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size. ■ Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments. ■ Empty pockets and turn them inside out. ■ Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt. ■ Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling. ■ Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle. ■ Mend tears, loose hems, and seams. ■ Treat spots and stains. ■ Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results. ■ Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. 16
