WASH PROGRAM OPTIONS
The table below defines the wash program options. Not all options are available with all programs. For example, the
wash temperature for the Wool and Hand wash programs cannot be set above 140° F. Only the options available for
the program you select will display. The table on page 17 details which options are available with each program.
Option
Set this option to “On” to:
Pre-soak
Get a two-hour cold presoak before the wash program starts. For heavily soiled items. Only
available with the wash programs.
E2:Eco/
Extend the main wash time by 22 minutes (see note below). When used with low wash
temperatures (85°–100° F), this program conserves energy but gives the same high level of
cleaning. Can also be used with higher temperature settings to clean heavily soiled items. Only
available with the Heavy, Normal, and Light wash programs.
Super rinse
Get two additional rinses. Recommended for persons with sensitive skin or allergies. Only available
with the wash programs.
Anti-crease
Rotate the drum once every minute at the end of the program to prevent wrinkling. Continues for
two hours or until the door is opened.
High water level
Increase the amount of water used for the wash cycle.
NOTE: The main wash cycle in a Normal program is 43 minutes.

THE PRESET PROGRAMS
Model W6761 is delivered preset with four commonly used programs. The table below lists the preset programs and
the settings for each. To select a program, simply press one of the program buttons and press Start.
CUSTOMIZING THE PRESET PROGRAM BUTTONS
In addition to the preset programs listed above, you can customize the preset buttons to use any of the programs
listed in the table below. This table also lists the pre-programmed settings for each program. For example, if you
select Perma Press on the program menu, it is automatically programmed to wash at 105° F using a normal wash
action, rinse three times then do a short spin, then rinse two more times, do a long spin and drain. You can modify
some of these settings (see “Wash Program Options” below).
