Extra Rinse
An extra rines can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.
Rinse Hold
Use this option to avoid wrinkling of your laundry when a load
cannot be removed from the washer immediately. The wash cycle
is paused before the final drain and spin phase so that the
laundry stays in the rinse water until the cycle is continued. This
provides optimal wrinkle care of your wet laundry. The door stays
locked during the Rinse Hold cycle and the indicator light is
fleshing. Press RINSE HOLD to finish the cycle and unload the
washer.

Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are

increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
