Options
Autosoak Option (on some models)
This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle
automatically. On some models, this option is located on the Cycle Selector knob.
2nd Rinse Option (on some models)
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the 2nd Rinse option to better remove additional
residues.
Extended Spin Option (on some models)
Use this option to extract more water from your clothes. Clothes will be drier when this option is selected and will dry more
quickly in your dryer.
Fabric Softener and Power Rinse
Set this option when adding fabric softener to the washer or to select the enhanced Power Rinse.
NOTE: Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls with this washer. They do not work correctly in high efficiency washers.
Status Indicator Lights
The Cycle Indicator Lights show what stage the washer is in. When the Selector knob is set to a new cycle, the Indicator
Lights will flash momentarily, showing what stages the cycle will go through. On models without an AUTO SOAK option, the
SOAK light will not light up.

begin the new cycle selection.
