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” section for an overview of possible
options for each Wash Cycle selection.
■ If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will illuminate 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
illuminate when
selected.

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.
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 in the normal rinse. It is
a preset setting for the Whitest Whites cycle. You may select or
deselect by pressing EXTRA RINSE.
Wash Temp
Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To change the
water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the

washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
