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 and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and 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.
■To change the loudness of the End of Cycle Signal, select

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.
■See the “Laundry Guide” 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.
■If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will glow when selected.
■If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a short tone, and the light for that option will not glow when selected.
Delay Wash
Use this to begin the wash cycle later.
■Select Delay Wash until the desired time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display.
■Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.
Extra Rinse
An extra rinse can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.
Modifiers
Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and Cycle Time can be changed. You can change a modifier after starting a cycle anytime before the selected modifier begins. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and options.

■To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting glows.
■To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button.
Wash/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 dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
