WASH ONLY PROGRAMS
EXTRA RINSE BUTTON
This button sets the program to add one or two rinse cycles. The
button will glow when this option is on. See the Wash Program table
below for an explanation of the number of rinse cycles added to each
program.
Three rinses are usually sufficient, but if you live in an area with very
soft water or you are allergic to detergent, you may want to use this
option.
PRE-WASH BUTTON
Be sure to put detergent in the pre-wash compartment of the
detergent drawer. The button glows while the pre-wash cycle option
is on.
For heavily soiled items, use the pre-wash cycle. Be sure to put
detergent in the pre-wash compartment of the detergent drawer. The
button glows while the pre-wash cycle option is on.
Note: Pre-wash cannot be used with any Delicate program.
This option is only available in the Regular and Synthetics Cycles.
The table below defines each wash program in detail to help you determine which program is best for each type of load. Load size is for wash only!
