Drain & Spin Soak

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric stress.

To use Drain & Spin setting

■Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN cycle.

■Press the 2ND RINSE button to deselect the rinse option.

■Press START.

Handwash/Delicate

Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots or stains on fabrics. This cycle provides up to a 30-minute soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve the removal of stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.

Using the Soak Cycle: The Soak cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain.

1.Add detergent only to the Main Wash compartment of the dispenser drawer.

2.Press the SOAK button.

3.Choose the desired soak temperature.

Select and hold START (approximately 1 second).

Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle, because there is no spinning action.

■Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as infant socks.

■Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles.

Normal Washer Sounds

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation. (See “Troubleshooting.”)

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.

My Cycle

Prewash

■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, Soak 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.

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.
