RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the
washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the
motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket
while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the One
Rinse with Fabric Softener or Extra Rinse with Fabric
Softener option was selected.
Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and
spinning out wash water, the washer will continue
to spin and spray in rinse water for the entire rinse
time.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.

Spin
Speed:
High Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Water-level sensing process
may take longer for some items than for others because they will absorb more
water than other fabric types.
High Use this cycle to wash large items such as jackets and small comforters. The
washer will fill with enough water to wet down the load before the wash portion
of the cycle begins, and uses a higher water level than other cycles.
High Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. This cycle
uses spray rinses.
Low Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses,
casual business clothes, permanent press, and blends.
Low Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating "Machine Washable
Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label. Place small items in mesh garment
bags before washing. This cycle uses a higher, preset water level.
High Cold water with an additional wash action gently lifts stains while caring for
fabrics. Settings may be adjusted as desired, but must use only cold water
settings.
High Combines a rinse and high speed spin for loads requiring an additional rinse
cycle or to complete a load after power interruption. Also use for loads that
require rinsing only.
High This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying times for heavy fabrics or special-care
items washed by hand. Use this cycle to drain washer after cancelling a cycle
or completing a cycle after a power failure.
Low Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep the inside of your washer fresh and
clean. This cycle uses a higher water level. Use with affresh
tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washer.
This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Washer Care."
