Rinses
■Rinsing is accomplished in the same manner as washing. Fresh water is added to a slow spinning load. Then the load moves through the spray rinses. The water is then drained away and the rinsing process is repeated. The number of rinses varies depending on the cycle.
■During the last rinse, fabric softener is dispensed into the bottom of the tub and applied to the load.
Final Spin
■The last of the rinse water is drained and the load is spun. The amount of spinning depends on the cycle selected.
To make unloading easy, the load is peeled off the sides of the basket by the CALYPSO® wash motion.
Normal Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds occurring 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. See “Troubleshooting.”
Options
Use options to customize your wash cycles.
Rinse & Spin
Use this option to get a combination of rinses and spins followed by a
When to use Rinse & Spin
■For loads that need rinsing only.
■For completing a cycle after the power has been off.
■To add fabric softener to load.
To use or change Rinse & Spin settings:
1.Add fabric softener to the dispenser (if desired).
2.Press the RINSE & SPIN control until the RINSE & SPIN indicator light glows.
3.Press START.
Soak
Use this option for
4 minutes of spraying and extra low spinning occurs. The wash action then pauses for the detergent to work on the soils. The SOAK feature is followed by the selected cycle. Using SOAK will extend your wash cycle by 16 minutes.
Extra Rinse
Selecting this option provides a second rinse with the same water temperature as selected for the first rinse. An Extra Rinse can be added to any wash cycle.
Extend Spin
This option adds an additional 3 minutes of spin to any cycle to reduce drying time and save energy. If you select EXTEND SPIN and do not select a wash cycle, you will get an 8 minute,
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.
Temperature Guide
Wash Water Temperature | Suggested Fabrics |
|
|
HOT | Whites and pastels |
| Heavy soils |
|
|
WARM | Bright colors |
| Moderate to light soils |
|
|
COLD | Colors that bleed or fade |
| Light soils |
In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Assured Water Temp
Assured Water Temp electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. It regulates incoming hot and cold water. It is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected. See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”
Assured Water Temp is available with WARM/WARM, WARM/ COLD and COLD/ COLD settings. HOT/COLD (top) and COLD/ COLD (bottom) are for tap water that is not temperature controlled.
■Assured Water Temp ensures consistent cleaning.
■When using Assured Water Temp on COLD/COLD, warm water is added to the washer to maintain a temperature of approximately 75°F (24°C), so detergents dissolve properly.
■Warm washes are regulated at approximately 100°F (38°C).
■Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 75°F (24°C). This is a cooler warm rinse than you are used to, but it saves energy, reduces wrinkling, and gives proper rinsing. The load is a comfortable temperature to remove from the washer.
