can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from
the SPIN SPEED modifier.
NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and
woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid
fabric stress.
Normal Washer Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and
spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will
be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and
splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds
and pauses are part of normal washer operation. (See
"Troubleshooting.")
You can customize your wash by adding OPTIONS to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins.
OPTIONS
PREWASH
STAIN TREAT
AUTO SOAK
2ND RINSE
EXTENDED SPIN
See the "Laundry Guide" for an overview of possible options
for each Wash Cycle selection.
You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some
options cannot be added to some cycles, for example, Stain
Treat cannot be added to the Express Wash cycle.
If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will glow when selected.
If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a
short tone and the light for that option will not glow when
selected.
Prewash
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled loads that need
pretreatment. This option adds a 15 minute prewash and drain to
the main wash cycle.
• Add detergent to the Prewash and Main Wash compartments
of the Dispenser Drawer.
•
When using Prewash, do not use liquid detergent in the Main
Wash compartment. Use powdered detergent for the main
wash cycle.
NOTE: The Prewash and Auto Soak options cannot be selected
in the same cycle.
Stain Treat
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain
treatment. When Stain Treat is selected, the water temperature of
the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water
will then be heated to a hot water temperature to aid in stain
removal. This option will provide optimal removal of organic
stains such as blood.
NOTE: If Stain Treat is selected with the Sanitary cycle, the water
will be heated to a very hot temperature.
Auto Soak
Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen,
polyester or nylon with set-in stains. During Auto Soak, water will
be added to the drum and the laundry will be equally distributed
by a short tumbling phase. Laundry will then be soaked by
phases without drum movement. After soaking, the washer
drains without spinning.
Added to a Wash Cycle: A 30 minute soak time is added to the
main wash cycle to improve removal of set-in stains.
1. Add detergent to both the Prewash and Main Wash
compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.
NOTE: The Auto Soak and Prewash options cannot be
selected in the same cycle. Use powdered detergent for the
main wash cycle because liquid detergent will seep into the
washer during Auto Soak.
2. Select a Wash Cycle.
8. Select AUTO SOAK.
NOTE: For cycles with hot wash temperatures, the soak
temperature will be set to warm; otherwise, the soak
temperature will be the same as the wash temperature.
4. Select and hold START (approximately 1 second). After
soaking, the washer drains and the wash cycle starts.
Without a Wash Cycle: Provides a soak time with warm or cold
water followed by drain.
1, Add detergent only to the Prewash compartment of the
Dispenser Drawer.
2, Select DRAIN/SPIN or RINSE/SPIN first, then AUTO SOAK.
3, Choose the desired soak temperature.
4. Select and hold START (approximately 1 second).
