Extra Rinse
An extra rinse 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 help 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 flashing. Press RINSE HOLD to finish the cycle and unload the washer.
Preset cycle settings of Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed can be
changed. You can change a modifier after starting a cycle anytime before the selected
modifier begins. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and options.
To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP button until the desired setting
glows.
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting glows.
To change the loudness of the Cycle End Signal, select (ADJUSTABLE) CYCLE END
SIGNAL.
To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button.

Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash
water safe for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold
climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
