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.

Options

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. Not all options are
available with all cycles.

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,
Prewash cannot be added to the Quick 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.
Delay Wash
Use this to begin the wash cycle later.
Select Delay Wash until the desired time (in hours) shows in
the Estimated Time Remaining display.
Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in
the display window.
Prewash
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need pretreatment.
This option adds a 15-minute prewash and drain to the main
wash cycle.
NOTES:
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.
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.
Add detergent to both the Prewash and Main Wash
compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.
Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle because
liquid detergent will seep into the washer during Auto Soak.
For cycles with Hot Wash Temperatures, the Soak
temperature is set to WARM. Otherwise the Soak
temperature is the same as the Wash Temperature.
The Auto Soak and Prewash options cannot be selected in
the same cycle.
Extra Rinse
An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.
