Control settings. 9 10 11 or (depending on model) 12 or (depending on model) 13 or 8 PreSoak (on some models) For soaking your garments prior to the wash cycle. This option begins with a brief tumble and then proceeds to soak the clothes with water and detergent for a specified period of time. Once complete, the cycle will begin automatically. PreSoak must be selected prior to pressing Start. The PreSoak time will add an additional 30 minutes to the overall wash time. High-efficiency detergent from the main wash compartment in the dispenser is used for the PreSoak period and main wash cycle. Time Saver (on some models) Use this option to reduce the overall wash cycle by at least 20% without sacrificing wash performance. This feature is available on all cycles except Tub Clean, Sanitize, Rinse + Spin, and Quick Wash. This option will modify the wash cycle, slightly raising the wash temperature and using more water to deliver equal wash performance as the basic cycle. All other features, such as Extra Rinse, Add Steam, etc, can be used with Time Saver but may adjust the total wash time. To use: 1. Turn power on and select a wash cycle which has Time Saver as an option. 2. Make any adjustments to Soil, Temp and Spin as desired. 3. Press the Time Saver button to reduce the overall wash time. 4. Press the Start/Pause button. Delay Wash You can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 24 hours. Press the Delay Wash button to choose the amount of time you want to delay the start of the wash cycle. Once the desired time is reached, press the Start button. The machine will count down and start automatically at the correct time. NOTE: If you forget to fully close the door, a reminder signal will beep reminding you to do so. NOTE: If you open the door when the delay is counting down, the machine will enter the pause state. You must close the door and press Start again in order to restart the countdown. Extra Rinse This option allows for an extra rinse during a cycle to remove excess dirt and detergent from soiled loads. On models with Rinse + Spin cycle, a drain and spin cycle can be achieved by pressing the Extra Rinse button until the light is no longer illuminated. Stain Removal Guide (on some models) The Stain Removal Guide is preprogrammed with the ideal wash and rinse settings to tackle five common stains. To use this feature, select the desired wash cycle and then press the Stain Removal Guide button until the stain you want to remove is highlighted. Next, press the Start button. For some stains, a prewash will be selected automatically. If desired, add detergent or wash additive to the prewash dispenser. Add Steam cannot be selected along with this feature. Stain Wash (on some models) The Stain Wash modifier can be used with all cycles except Rinse + Spin and Tub Clean and is preprogrammed with the ideal wash and rinse settings to tackle common stains. To use this feature, select the desired wash cycle and then press the Stain Wash button. Once selected, press the Start button to start the cycle. For some stains, a PreSoak will be selected automatically.
