6 OPTIONS
Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on
the washer. Not all options are available on all models.
Extra Rinse
Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.
NOTE: Some cycles include this feature as a default.
See “Cycle Guide” for details.
Fresh Spin
™ Option (on some models)
The Fresh Spin ™ option will periodically tumble the
load after the end of the cycle for up to 6 hours to reduce
humidity. To turn on the Fresh Spin ™ option, touch Fresh Spin.
If, however, the Fresh Spin ™ option is turned on, it will stay on
for all future cycles until turned back off – the washer
remembers the last on/off status set. To turn off the Fresh
Spin ™ option, touch Fresh Spin.
You may also activate the Fresh Spin ™ option without running
a cycle by touching and holding POWER/CANCEL for one
second, then touching and holding Fresh Spin for 3 seconds,
then touching and holding START for 3 seconds.
To turn off the Fresh Spin
™ option when it is running, touch
POWER/CANCEL.
NOTE: The door will lock while the Fresh Spin
™ option is active.
To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER/
CANCEL.
Cycle Signal (on some models)
Use this option to turn on or off the signal that sounds at end
of cycle.
To turn off the tones that sound when a setting is touched:
Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds. Repeat
to turn them on.
Control Lock
Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid
unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 3 seconds
again to unlock. You can still touch START to pause the cycle,
or touch POWER/CANCEL to turn off the washer.

Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely
result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may
also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or
mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to
produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They
hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
