Drain & Spin |
| Prewash |
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.
NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric stress.
To use Drain & Spin setting
■Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN cycle.
■Press the 2ND RINSE button to deselect the rinse option.
■Press START.
Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum.
Normal 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 or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or 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. See “Troubleshooting.”
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled garments that need pretreatment.
■Add detergent to the Main Wash Compartment of the dispenser drawer.
This option adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle. The washer continues automatically from prewash into the main wash cycle.
2nd Rinse
A second 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 Normal rinse.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the washer as soon as it stops. Select ON or OFF.

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.
