WASH ONLY PROGRAMS

EXTRA RINSE BUTTON

This button sets the program to add one or two rinse cycles. The button will glow when this option is on. See the Wash Program table below for an explanation of the number of rinse cycles added to each program.

Three rinses are usually sufficient, but if you live in an area with very soft water or you are allergic to detergent, you may want to use this option.

PRE-WASH BUTTON

Be sure to put detergent in the pre-wash compartment of the detergent drawer. The button glows while the pre-wash cycle option is on.

For heavily soiled items, use the pre-wash cycle. Be sure to put detergent in the pre-wash compartment of the detergent drawer. The button glows while the pre-wash cycle option is on.

Note: Pre-wash cannot be used with any Delicate program. This option is only available in the Regular and Synthetics Cycles.
