Wrinkle Control

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press, and blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a low-speed spin, and a cool down process to help reduce wrinkling.

Darks/Colors

Use this cycle for lightly soiled, colored clothing or towels. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action and medium-speed spin.

Rapid Wash

Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads that are needed in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin for the optimal cleaning and shortened dry times. A Water Save Spray Rinse is a preset cycle setting for this cycle.

Hand Wash

This cycle combines low-speed wash and low-speed spin action to clean items labeled as “Machine Washable” on the garment care label. Pre Soak and Deep Clean options are not available in this cycle.

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.

Additional Features

Indicator lights

An indicator light shows which Cycle, Modifiers, and Options you have selected.

Estimated Time Remaining

When a wash cycle is started, the estimated time remaining for the cycle, including fills and drains, will be displayed. The time will count down to the end of the cycle.

Modifiers

Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy.

Wash Temp/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 drier and more comfortable to handle than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.

Temperature Guide

Wash Water Temperature	Suggested Fabrics
Hot	Whites and pastels
Warm	Bright colors
Cold	Colors that bleed or fade

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

Spin Speed

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected.The preset speeds can be changed. Spin speeds may vary by cycle.

Soil Level

Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light next to Light illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available for that cycle with the wash options selected.

■■For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if needed.

■■For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed.
