Wrinkle Control
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts,
blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press, and blends. This
cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a low-speed spin, and a
cool down process to help reduce wrinkling.
Darks/Colors
Use this cycle for lightly soiled, colored clothing or towels. This
cycle uses medium-speed wash action and medium-speed spin.
Rapid Wash
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads that are needed
in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and
high-speed spin for the optimal cleaning and shortened dry times.
A Water Save Spray Rinse is a preset cycle setting for this cycle.
Hand Wash
This cycle combines low-speed wash and low-speed spin action
to clean items labeled as “Machine Washable” on the garment
care label. Pre Soak and Deep Clean options are not available
in this cycle.
Clean Washer with AffRESH ™
Use the Clean Washer with AFFRESH ™ cycle once a month to keep
the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher
water level. Use with AFFRESH ® washer cleaner tablet or liquid
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing
machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your
Washer.”
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer with AFFRESH ™ cycle. Use this cycle with
an empty wash tub.
Soak
This cycle is preset for a 31-minute cycle and soak time can be
adjusted according to your needs by selecting Soil Level. After the
selected soak period has ended, the washer will drain but does not
spin the load. At the end of Soak, the washer will drain and wait
for a wash cycle to be selected, to complete the cleaning process.
NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing is not part of the soak cycle.
Rinse & Spin
Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed spin.
The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take
to fill and drain the washer.
When to use RINSE & SPIN:
For loads that need rinsing only.
■ ■
For completing a cycle after the power has been off. The
■ ■
machine will return to pause mode if the power was interrupted
or unplugged while cycle was running.
Drain & Spin
Drain & Spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics
or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be used for draining
the washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a
power failure.
Additional features
These lights show which portion of the cycle is operating. They also
indicate when you can add other garments to the wash load.
Indicator lights
An indicator light shows which Cycle, Modifiers, and Options you
have selected.
Estimated Time Remaining
When a wash cycle is started, the estimated time remaining for the
cycle, including fills and drains, will be displayed. The time will
count down to the end of the cycle.
Modifiers
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy.
Wash Temp/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 drier and more comfortable to handle
than cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase wrinkling.
Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.
