6. Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the 
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water 
safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
Your washer uses automatic temperature control (on some 
models) to maintain a uniform water temperature by 
regulating the incoming hot and cold water. This helps 
eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent 
cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at approximately 
75°F (24°C) by adding small amounts of hot water during the 
cold fill. The warm wash is maintained at approximately 
100°F (38°C).
NOTE: Make sure that both the hot and cold water taps are 
fully turned on or the automatic temperature control feature 
will not work properly.  
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF 
(21ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult 
to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have 
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the 
surface of garments).
7. (OPTIONAL) Some models have an EXTRA RINSE selector. 
For an additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, 
set the EXTRA RINSE selector to ON. On some models, the 
Extra Rinse feature is part of the cycle. 
8. (OPTIONAL ) Some models have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL 
selector. Set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL selector to ON if 
you want your washer to alert you when the wash cycle is 
complete. The signal is helpful when you are washing items 
that should be removed from the washer as soon as the cycle 
ends.
9. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the 
wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a 
small load size setting. See “Selecting a Cycle and Time.”
Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start the washer.
To stop or restart your washer
To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle Control 
knob. 
To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out 
the Cycle Control knob.
Adding bleach to models without a bleach dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid chlorine bleach after the washer 
starts agitating. Pour diluted bleach around the agitator, not 
directly on the load. Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it 
touches. (See “Adding Liquid Chlorine Bleach.”)
Adding softener to models without a fabric softener 
dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid fabric softener to the final rinse 
water. Always dilute fabric softener with 
¹⁄₂ to 1 cup (125  to 
250 mL) cup of warm water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain 
fabrics. (See “Adding Liquid Fabric Softener.”)
