Rapid Wash Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash time. Delicate Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle fabric care. ■ Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as socks. Silk Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments (check label instructions to make sure the garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and drains with the lowest spinning to gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle because of the low spin action. Rinse, Drain & Spin Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fastspeed tumbling and ex high spin speed. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED option. Rinse is useful for: ■ Loads that need rinsing only. ■ Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener dispenser. Using Drain & Spin: 1. Select Rinse, Drain & Spin cycle. 2. Deselect 2nd Rinse option. Soak Use the Soak cycle to help remove set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles. Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle 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 in combination with AFFRESH® washer cleaner tablet or chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. 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 drum. Normal 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 or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or 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. See "Troubleshooting." Options & Modifiers 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. temperatures dryness level cycle signal ■ See the "Laundry Guide" section for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection. ■ If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will illuminate 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 illuminate when selected.
