Normal Washer Sounds

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation.

Options

You can customize your wash by adding “Options” to your cycle selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle anytime before the selected option begins. Not all options are available with all cycles.

See the “Laundry Guide” for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection.

You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some options cannot be added to some cycles; for example, Prewash cannot be added to the Rapid Wash cycle.

If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will glow when selected.

If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a short tone, and the light for that option will not glow when selected.

Prewash

Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need pretreatment. This option adds a 15-minute prewash and drain to the main wash cycle.

NOTES:

Add detergent to the Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.

When using Prewash, do not use liquid detergent in the Main Wash compartment. Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle.

NOTE: The Prewash and Auto Soak options cannot be selected in the same cycle.

Auto Soak

Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen, polyester or nylon with set-in stains. During Auto Soak, water will be added to the drum and the laundry will be equally distributed by a short tumbling phase. Laundry will then be soaked by phases without drum movement. After soaking, the washer drains without spinning.

Add detergent to both the Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.

Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle because liquid detergent will seep into the washer during Auto Soak.

For cycles with Hot Wash Temperatures, the Soak temperature is set to WARM. Otherwise the Soak temperature is the same as the Wash Temperature.

The Auto Soak and Prewash options cannot be selected in the same cycle.

Extra Rinse

An extra rinse can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.

Rinse Hold

Use this option to avoid wrinkling of your laundry when a load cannot be removed from the washer immediately. The wash cycle is paused before the final drain and spin phase so that the laundry stays in the rinse water until the cycle is continued. This provides optimal wrinkle care of your wet laundry. The door stays

locked during the Rinse Hold cycle and the indicator light is flashing. Press RINSE HOLD to finish the cycle and unload the washer.

Modifiers

Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Wash/Rinse, and Spin Speed 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.

To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP button until the desired setting glows.

To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting glows.

To change the loudness of the End of Cycle Signal, select

CYCLE END SIGNAL.

To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button.

Wash/Rinse Temp

Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest 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.
