Total Cycle Tme in minutes will appear in the display while making
selections.
The total cycle time will remain, including
an estimated
time
for drain and fill times, once Start is pressed.
After you have loaded the washer, selected the cycle and options
and you have pressed START, your washer does the following:
Distributes the load
Load is initially fluffed to distribute the load before water is
added.
Fills
Water enters through the dispenser to mix with the detergent.
Water continues to be added until the load is soaked and just
enough water is present to maintain the spray. This way of
washing and rinsing uses less water and makes the detergent
more effective in cleaning your clothes. As a result, you will
only see a wet load and not a full tub of water, if you open the
lid.
Washes
As the washer continues to fill, a low speed spin begins and
the detergent/water
mixture is sprayed on to the load.
The spinning stops and the CALYPSO
TM
Wash Motion
begins, while the wash water continues to be sprayed on to
the moving load. The length of wash depends on the cycle
and wash time selected.
The CALYPSO
TM
Wash Motion features five wash speeds in
combination
with low-speed spin sprays for a variety of fabric
care needs.
Liquid chlorine bleach is dispensed in the last 2-3 minutes of
the wash cycle to help ensure the best cleaning results.
The wash water is then drained and spun out before rinsing
begins.
Rinses
Rinsing is accomplished
in the same manner as washing.
Fresh water is added to a slow spinning load. Then the load
moves through the spray rinses. The water is then drained
away and the rinsing process is repeated. The number of
rinses varies depending on the cycle.
During the last rinse, fabric softener is dispensed into the
bottom of the tub and applied to the load.
Final Spin
The last of the rinse water is drained and the load isspun.
The amount of spinning depends on the cycle selected.
To make unloading easy the load is peeled off the sides of the
basket by the CALYPSO
TM
Wash Motion.
Normal Washer
Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds occurring 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.")
Use options to customize your wash cycles.
Soak
Rinse & Spin
Use this option to get a combination
of rinses and spins followed
by a high-speed
spin. The time display will include an estimate of
how Longit will take to fill and drain the washer. Fabric softener
can be added to the Fabric Softener dispenser.
When to use Rinse & Spin
For loads that need rinsing only.
For completing a cycle after the power has been off.
To add fabric softener to load.
To use or change Rinse & Spin settings:
1. Add fabric softener to the dispenser (if desired).
2. Press the RINSE & SPIN control until the RINSE & SPIN
indicator light glows.
3. Press START.
