Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you
can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from
the SPIN SPEED modifier.
A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for
■ Loads that need rinsing only.
■ Adding fabric softener to a load.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your
wash load. The spin speed is preset to extra 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 speed to
avoid fabric stress.
Preset cycle settings
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water
Temperature, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the
recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.
To change the preset cycle settings
Press the selector of each setting until the desired setting glows.
Normal Washer 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 and unlocked, and 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.
Options
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.
■ See the “Laundry Guide” for an overview of possible options
for each Wash Cycle selection.
■ You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some
options cannot be added to some cycles; for example,
Prewash cannot be added to the Quick Wash cycle.
■ If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will glow 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 glow when
selected.
Prewash
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need pretreatment.
This option adds a 15-minute prewash and drain to the main
wash cycle.
NOTES:
■ Add detergent to the Prewash and Main Wash
compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.
■ When using Prewash, do not use liquid detergent in the Main
Wash compartment. Use powdered detergent for the main
wash cycle.
NOTE: The Prewash and Auto Soak options cannot be selected
in the same cycle.
