Rinse/Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
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 of set-in 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, to help improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain
without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate items.
Normal 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.”
Optionsand Modifiers
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.

options for each Wash Cycle selection.
■If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will illuminate 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 illuminate when
selected.

An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as in the normal rinse. It is
a preset setting for the Whitest Whites cycle. You may select or
deselect by pressing EXTRA RINSE.

Prewash

Use this option for loads of heavily soiled garments that need
pretreatment.

dispenser drawer.
This option adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle.

wash cycle.

Wash Temp

Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To change the
water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the
desired setting is illuminated.

washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
