Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as infant socks. Hand Washables Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of lowspeed tumbling and soaking. Low-speed spin reduces wrinkling. Use mesh garment bags as necessary. Quick 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 extra high speed spin to shorten drying time. Clean Washer Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level. Use with AFFRESH™ washer cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Cleaning Your Washer" in the "Washer Care" section. IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum. Soak Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots of 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. 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, 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. 17
