change the fi nal rinse from spray rinse to regular rinse so
that the fabric softener is most eff ective.

EXTRA RINSE option if liquid fabric softener is used in
NORMAL/CASUAL and HEAVY DUTY cycles. Failure
to select one of these options will greatly reduce the
eff ectiveness of the softener.

SPECIAL DRAIN FEATURE

This washer is equipped with a special feature that is
designed to make your washer as safe as possible.

in the tub, the water will drain after several minutes. This
helps keep children safe by reducing the possibility of
water remaining in the tub. The washer can be restarted
any time before the drain begins.
If no action is taken, the
the water will drain from the tub. Once the washer begins
draining the water, the controls are disabled and the
drain process cannot be interrupted. Once the water is
completely drained, the washer will shut off .
NOTE: In the unlikely event that the washer experiences
a problem that causes an error code to be displayed, the
washer will still drain after several minutes. However, only
the original error code will be displayed.
