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 Rapid 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.
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, use powdered detergent for the Main
Wash detergent compartment because liquid detergent will
seep into the washer during Auto Soak.
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 ensure the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.
Rinse Hold
Use this option to avoid wrinkling of your laundry when a load
cannot be removed from the washer immediately. The wash cycle is
paused before the final drain and spin phase so that the laundry
stays in the rinse water until the cycle is continued. This provides
optimal wrinkle care of your wet laundry. The door stays locked
during the Rinse Hold cycle and the indicator light is flashing. Press
RINSE HOLD to finish the cycle and unload the washer.

Modifiers

Preset cycle settings of Soil Level (cycle time), Water
Temperature, and Spin Speed can be changed. You can change a
modifier after starting a cycle anytime before the selected
modifier begins. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and
options.
To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP
button until the desired setting glows.
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting glows.
To change the loudness of the Cycle End Signal, select
(ADJUSTABLE) CYCLE END SIGNAL.
To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button.
Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.

In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Automatic Temperature Control
The automatic temperature control electronically senses and
maintains a uniform water temperature. Automatic temperature
control regulates incoming hot and cold water. Automatic
temperature control is automatically turned On when a cycle is
selected. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles."
