Save Energy Plus

The Save Energy Plus option reduces wash and rinse water temperatures to save energy while adding about 5 minutes of wash time to maintain performance. This option must be selected prior to the start of the cycle. The Save Energy Plus option is available in only the Heavy Duty and Whitest Whites cycles.

2nd Rinse

A 2nd rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse. This is the default rinse setting for the Whitest Whites cycle. Fabric softener will be dispensed during the 2nd Rinse.

Stain Treat (Catalyst® Cleaning Action)

This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough stains. The Heavy Duty cycle automatically includes Stain Treat. Choosing Stain Treat will add approximately 5 minutes to a cycle. Stain Treat should be started on a dry load only and should not be selected after the tub has started filling with water.

Stain Treat may be selected as an option with other cycles. See table for details.

Auto Soak/Prewash

Use these options for set-in stains and soils that need extra time for removal. Press the Option button for Auto Soak/Prewash until your desired choice is lighted.

■When Auto Soak is selected, the washer saturates the load with water and detergent then pauses to allow the detergent to work on soils. The pause is followed by a slow-speed spin. The washer pauses and spins six times before advancing to the desired wash cycle. Auto Soak adds approximately

12 minutes to the wash cycle.

■When Prewash is selected, the washer fills to the desired water level. It then alternates between 1 minute of wash action and a 1-minute pause period three consecutive times with an extended pause to end the cycle. When Prewash is complete, the washer advances to the selected wash cycle. The Prewash option extends your wash time by approximately 11 minutes.

Cycle Signal Volume

The End of Cycle 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 Loud or Soft. The End of Cycle Signal is off when neither option is lit.

Operating Controls

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 may be normal.

During washing

If you select the Stain Treat option, you will hear a spin/spray noise at the start of 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 wash and spin. You will hear sounds that are different from those of a conventional washer.
