Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten
drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for
this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum
temperature.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual
Cycle.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots or stains on fabrics.
This cycle provides up to a 30-minute soak time with warm or
cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase
for equal distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without
drum movement improve the removal of stains. Drain without
spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
Using the Soak Cycle: The Soak cycle provides a soak time with
warm or cold water followed by drain.

Normal Washer Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning
process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be
momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing
during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses
are part of normal washer operation. (See “Troubleshooting.”)
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. Current selections will glow green. If an
option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not
illuminate.

2nd Rinse
A second 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 the normal rinse. This is
the default rinse setting for the Whitest Whites cycle. When 2nd
Rinse is selected, the indicator light will glow green.
STEAM TREAT™
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain
treatment, loads with multiple types of stains, or loads you
suspect as having stains, but are afraid may have been missed
(no sorting or searching for stains). When STEAM TREAT™ is
selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is
automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated
to the temperature selected, along with steam, to aid in stain
removal. This option will provide optimal removal of organic
stains such as blood. This option is available on the following
cycles: Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites.
