Soak My Cycle
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.
1. Add detergent only to the Main Wash compartment of the
dispenser drawer.
2. Press the SOAK button.
3. Choose the desired soak temperature.
Select and hold START (approximately 1 second).
Morrnal Wash« nds
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.”)
My Cycle allows you to store a customized wash cycle for future
use.

2. Select the desired OPTIONS.
3. Select the desired MODIFIERS.

See the “Laundry Guide” section 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. Soak
cannot be added to the Express Wash cycle.
If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be
3 short tones, and the light for that option will not glow when
selected.
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.
Extended Spin
Use this option to add an additional spin to any cycle to improve
drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by
reducing excess water, which may save energy.
Button Sounds
Button sounds are used to notify you of what has been selected
or to let you know when something is not available. Button
sounds may be turned on or off by selecting BUTTON SOUNDS.
Delay Start
To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY START until the
desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time
Remaining display, and then select START. The countdown to the
wash cycle will show in the display window, and the button
indicator will blink until the cycle begins.
IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents
may seep out of the compartment during Delay, before the wash
cycle begins.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Select Loud, Soft or Off.
