Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
Rinse & Spin is useful for:
■Loads that need rinsing only.
■Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener dispenser.
Drain/Spin
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.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots or stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a 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 help improve the removal of stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate items.
NormalSounds
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.”
