Drain/Spin Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to 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 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, Deep Clean 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 high efficiency "HE" detergent compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins. Clean Washer Reminder The Clean Washer Reminder light illuminates to remind you to use the Clean Washer cycle regularly. The reminder light will illuminate every 30 cycles. The reminder light may be reset by either running the Clean Washer cycle, or by pressing the CLEAN WASHER RESET button. Deep Clean with Steam Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment, loads with multiple types of stains, or loads you suspect as having stains, but are afraid may have been missed (no sorting or searching for stains). When Deep Clean with Steam is selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to the temperature selected, along with steam, to aid in stain removal. This option will provide optimal removal of organic stains such as blood and grass. 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. Modifiers Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and Soil Level can be changed. You can change a modifier after starting a cycle anytime before the selected modifier begins. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and options. Available options will glow amber. Current selections will glow green. If a modifier is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. NOTE: The panel shown below may be different from that of your model. To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP button until the desired setting glows green. To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting glows green. To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button until the desired setting glows green. 16
