Prewash

Use this option for loads of heavily soiled items that need
pretreatment. This option adds 20-minutes prewash without drain
to the main wash cycle.

Drawer.

Express, Handwash/Delicate Rinse/Spin cycles.

Normal Rinse

Consists of a two phase rinsing process that is effective for
everyday laundry.

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. This
is the default rinse setting for the Whitest Whites cycle.

Extended Spin

Use this option to add an additional spin to any cycle to improve
drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by
reducing excess water, which may save energy.

Button Sounds

Button sounds are used to notify you of what has been selected
or to let you know when something is not available. Button
sounds may be turned on or off by selecting BUTTON SOUNDS.

Delay Start

To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY START until the
desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time
Remaining display, and then select START. The countdown to the
wash cycle will show in the display window.
IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents
may seep out of the compartment during Delay, before the wash
cycle begins.

Cycle Signal

This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Select Loud, Soft or Off.
