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, hand washables, and washable woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress. 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. Available options will glow amber. Current selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. 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 unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be 3 short tones, and the light for that option will not glow when selected. Delay Wash To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY WASH until the desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display, and then select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window, and the button indicator will blink until the cycle begins. IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins. 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, use only powdered detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins. NOTE: The Prewash and Presoak options cannot be selected in the same cycle. Presoak Use the Presoak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen, polyester, or nylon with set-in stains. During Presoak, water will be added to the drum and the laundry will be equally distributed by a short tumbling phase. Laundry will then be soaked by phases without drum movement. After soaking, the washer drains without spinning. Add detergent to both the Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser Drawer. Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle because liquid detergent will seep into the washer during Soak. For cycles with Hot Wash Temperatures, the Presoak temperature is set to Warm. Otherwise the Presoak temperature is the same as the Wash Temperature. The Presoak and Prewash options cannot be selected in the same cycle. Extra Rinse 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 the first rinse. Cycle Signal This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the washer as soon as it stops. Press CYCLE SIGNAL to select Loud, Soft, or Off. Button Sound Button sounds are used to notify you of what has been selected or to let you know when something is not available. Press BUTTON SOUND to select Loud, Soft, or Off. 16
