PreSoak
(on some models)
For soaking your garments prior to
the wash cycle. This option begins
with a brief tumble and then proceeds
to soak the clothes with water and
detergent for a specified period of time.
Once complete, the cycle will begin
automatically. PreSoak must be selected
prior to pressing Start.
Time Saver
(on some models)
Use this option to reduce the overall
wash cycle by at least 20% without
sacrificing wash performance. This
feature is available on all cycles except
Tub Clean, Sanitize, Rinse + Spin, and
Quick Wash.
This option will modify the wash cycle,
slightly raising the wash temperature
and using more water to deliver equal
wash performance as the basic cycle. All
other features, such as Extra Rinse, Add
Steam, etc, can be used with Time Saver
but may adjust the total wash time.
Delay Wash
You can delay the start of a wash cycle
for up to 24 hours. Press the Delay Wash
button to choose the amount of time
you want to delay the start of the wash
cycle. Once the desired time is reached,
press the Start button. The machine will
count down and start automatically at
the correct time.
Extra Rinse
This option allows for an extra rinse
during a cycle to remove excess dirt and
detergent from soiled loads.
Stain Removal Guide
(on some models)
The Stain Removal Guide is pre-
programmed with the ideal wash and
rinse settings to tackle five common
stains. To use this feature, select the
desired wash cycle and then press the
Stain Removal Guide button until the
stain you want to remove is highlighted.
Next, press the Start button.
For some stains, a prewash will be
selected automatically. If desired,
add detergent or wash additive to the
prewash dispenser. Add Steam cannot
be selected along with this feature.
The PreSoak time will add an additional
30 minutes to the overall wash time.
High-efficiency detergent from the main
wash compartment in the dispenser is
used for the PreSoak period and main
wash cycle.
To use:
1. Turn power on and select a wash
cycle which has Time Saver as an
option.
2. Make any adjustments to Soil, Temp
and Spin as desired.
3. Press the Time Saver button to
reduce the overall wash time.
4. Press the Start/Pause button.
NOTE: If you forget to fully close the
door, a reminder signal will beep
reminding you to do so.
NOTE: If you open the door when the
delay is counting down, the machine will
enter the pause state. You must close
the door and press Start again in order
to restart the countdown.
On models with Rinse + Spin cycle, a
drain and spin cycle can be achieved by
pressing the Extra Rinse button until the
light is no longer illuminated.
Stain Wash
(on some models)
The Stain Wash modifier can be used
with all cycles except Rinse + Spin
and Tub Clean and is preprogrammed
with the ideal wash and rinse settings
to tackle common stains. To use this
feature, select the desired wash cycle
and then press the Stain Wash button.
