RINSE/DRAIN AND SPIN

Rinse and Spin feature

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is needed.

For an additional rinse and spin, push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Rinse settings. The washer fills to the selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.

Drain and Spin feature

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.

For a drain and spin, push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin settings. Then pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains, then spins.
