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.

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, Oxi Prewash cannot be added to the Rapid 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. Oxi Prewash Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need pretreatment. This option adds a 15-minute Oxi Prewash and drain to the main wash cycle. NOTES: ■ Add Oxi or color safe products or / detergent to the Oxi Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser Drawer. ■ When using Oxi Prewash, use powdered detergent for the Main Wash detergent compartment because liquid detergent will seep into the washer during Auto Soak. NOTE: The Oxi Prewash and Auto Soak options cannot be selected in the same cycle. Auto Soak Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen, polyester or nylon with stains. During Auto Soak, 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 Oxi 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 Auto Soak. ■ For cycles with Hot Wash Temperatures, the Soak temperature is set to WARM. Otherwise the Soak temperature is the same as the Wash Temperature. ■ The Auto Soak and Oxi Prewash options cannot be selected in the same cycle. 18
