Extra Rinse Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics
such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business
clothes, permanent press, and blends.
Extra Rinse Use this cycle to wash large items such as
jackets and small comforters. The washer will fill
with enough water to wet down the load before
the wash portion of the cycle begins. Do not

Water-level sensing process may take longer
for some items than for others because they will
absorb more water than other fabric types.

additional rinse cycle or to complete a load after
power interruption. This cycle uses a higher, preset
water level. Also use for loads that require rinsing only.

for heavy fabrics or special-care items washed
by hand. Use this cycle to drain washer after
cancelling a cycle or completing a cycle after a
