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. Current selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate.

See the “Laundry Guide” section 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, Stain Treat cannot be added to the Express Wash cycle.

If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be 3 short tones, and the light for that option will not glow when selected.

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.

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.

Add detergent to the Main Wash compartment of the Dispenser Drawer.

NOTE: The Prewash option cannot be selected with the Soak, Express, Handwash/Delicate Rinse/Spin cycles.
