Modifiers Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and Soil Level 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 cycles and options. Available options will glow amber. Current selections will glow green. If a modifier is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. NOTE: The panel shown below may be different from that of your model. 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. 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. In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove. s To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP button until the desired setting glows green. s To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting glows green. s To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button until the desired setting glows green. 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.
