tion or anytime you want to drain water from the washer
and spin out the load. Select the spin speed appropriate to
the load.
Rinse/Spin
Select Rinse/Spin for loads that need a cold water rinse or
to add fabric softener that may have been omitted in a regu-
lar cycle. Add the fabric softener to the dispenser chamber.
Select the spin speed appropriate for the load.
Soak
Use this cycle to soak heavily soiled and stained items before
washing. Only cold water is available with this cycle because
warmer water may set some stains. Add half the detergent
dose and a detergent booster, if desired, to the detergent
compartment. Six minutes of regular reverse tumble action
are followed by 30 minutes of occasional tumbling as the
load soaks. The water will drain out and the load will spin
slowly for a short time. Follow Soak with a complete wash
cycle suitable for the load and a full detergent dose.

Washing wool garments labeled "Dry Clean Only"
or using chlorine bleach can result in permanent damage.
Sport
This cycle is designed for small loads of lightweight, syn-
thetic apparel worn for working out, running, swimming,
cycling, tennis and similar activities when removal of light
soil and perspiration are important. Items will occasionally
tumble slowly as they soak for 10 minutes. Reverse tumble
wash action will continue for 6 minutes followed by 2
rinses and a fi nal spin. A hot water wash is not available
with this cycle.
For best results, select a detergent that contains enzymes
and the hottest wash water safe for the load. Add a deter-
gent booster, color safe bleach or odor eliminator with the
detergent if needed. Chlorine bleach should not be used
on items containing Lycra™. Fabric softeners reduce wick-
ing and are not recommended for garments made to pull
moisture away from the body.
