Hand Wash

Clean Washer with AFFRESH™

Use the Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level. Use with AFFRESH® washer cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash tub.

Soak

This cycle is preset for a 31-minute cycle and soak time can be adjusted according to your needs by selecting Soil Level. After the selected soak period has ended, the washer will drain but does not spin the load. At the end of Soak, the washer will drain and wait for a wash cycle to be selected, to complete the cleaning process.

NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing is not part of the soak cycle.

Rinse & Spin

Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed spin. The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take to fill and drain the washer.

When to use RINSE & SPIN:

■■For loads that need rinsing only.

■■For completing a cycle after the power has been off. The machine will return to pause mode if the power was interrupted or unplugged while cycle was running.

Drain & Spin

Drain & Spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a power failure.
