Handwash/Wool
Use this cycle to clean lightly soiled special care garments or for
items labeled as “Machine Washable Wool.” (Check label
instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) This
cycle uses intermittent-low speed wash action and low-speed
spin for the gentlest fabric care with less wrinkling.
Garments are labeled “Handwash” because:
■ The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.
■ The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
NOTE: Some “Handwash” items naturally shrink when washed.
Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled “Handwash.”
Items that shrink should be dried flat. When these items are still
wet, “block” them by gently stretching to the original
measurements.
Rinse & Spin
Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed
spin. The time display will include an estimate of how long it will
take to fill and drain the washer.
When to use Rinse & Spin:
■ For loads that need rinsing only.
■ For completing a cycle after the power has been off.
To use or change Rinse & Spin setting:
1. Turn knob to RINSE & SPIN until the Rinse & Spin indicator
light glows.
2. Press START.
Drain & Spin
An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some
heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be
used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or
completing a cycle after a power failure.
To use or change Drain & Spin setting:
1. Turn knob to DRAIN & SPIN until the Drain & Spin indicator
light glows.
2. Press START.
Modifiers
Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save
energy.
Soil Level
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset
Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press the Soil Level pad, the
cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated
Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To
get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light
next to Light Soil Level illuminates. This is the shortest wash time
available for that cycle.
■ For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset
cycle settings.
■ For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select
more wash time, if needed.
■ For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select
less wash time, if needed.
Load Size
This washer automatically selects Auto for the water level when
the cycle is selected. The Auto feature senses the size of the load
and adds the correct amount of water for the load size. You can
also manually change the water level settings.
Wash-Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable to
handle than with cold rinses. However, warm rinses also increase
wrinkling. Cold rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.
Temperature Guide
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Care Control Temperature Management
Care Control Temperature Management electronically senses and
maintains a uniform wash and rinse water temperature. Care
Control regulates incoming hot and cold water and is
automatically turned on when a cycle is selected. (See “Preset
Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”)
Care Control is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cold/
Cold settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold setting
depends on the water temperature at the water inlet faucets.
■ Care Control ensures consistent cleaning.
■ Today’s detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F
(15.6°C).
