EXTRA RINSE BUTTON
This button sets the program to add one or two rinse cycles. The button will glow when this option is on.
See the Wash Programs table below for an explanation of the number of rinse cycles added to each program.
Three rinses are usually sufficient, but iff you live in an area with very soft water or you are allergic to detergent,
you may want to use this option. This option is only available with the Heavy Stain, Normal and Rinse
programs.
START BUTTON
After you have set the program, a drying time, and prewash or extra rinse option, press this button to start
the program.
The table below defines each wash program in detail to help you determine which program is best for each
