OPTIONS
One Rinse
This is the rinse at the end of each cycle.

SOIL LEVEL WITH TIME ADJUST
Adjusting the soil level modifies the length of the wash
cycle. Based on the cycle and soil level selections, the wash
times will be extended or reduced. Use the Heavy Soil
selection for loads that need a more thorough cleaning. Use the
Light Soil selection for garments that are only lightly soiled or
require a little more care.
Ultra Clean with Soak
Use this cycle for sturdy or heavily soiled loads. This cycle
includes a 5-minute soak to help improve cleaning.
Normal
Select this cycle for cottons and linens used regularly. The
fast-speed spin shortens drying time.
Permanent Press
Use this cycle to wash no-iron/permanent press fabrics. This
cycle provides an additional load-cooling spray rinse to
reduce wrinkling.
Delicate
This cycle combines slow-speed agitation and slow-speed spin
to gently clean garments while reducing wrinkles.
Handwash
Use this cycle for special care items. This cycle features a
series of brief agitation and short soaks for gentle cleaning
and minimal wrinkling.

to help remove stains that need pretreatment. After soaking,
you have two options. To use the same water in a wash
cycle, advance the Cycle Selector (Timer) Control knob to a
wash cycle. To remove the soak water, reset the washer to a
Spin setting. If the Soak water was drained, add more
detergent to the wash cycle.

cycle should be followed by a wash cycle. Add more detergent to the
wash cycle. The Prewash cycle does not include a rinse.

A second rinse can be used to aid in improved removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option may be automatically added
to the wash cycle by setting the OPTIONS Control to 2nd Rinse anytime before the end of the cycle.
Rinse & Spin
Select this option if you think an extra rinse is needed. Set OPTIONS
Control to 2nd Rinse. You should then set the Cycle Selector (Timer)
Control knob to a 2nd Rinse setting.

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some fabrics by
removing excess water. Set OPTIONS Control (if available) to One
Rinse. You should then set Cycle Selector (Timer) Control to a Spin
setting.
