Options
You can customize your wash by adding OP-
TIONS to your cycle selections. You can add or
change an option after starting a cycle anytime
before the selected option begins.
See the “Laundry Guide” for an overview of
possible options for each Wash Cycle selec-
tion.
You can select more than one option for a
cycle. Some options cannot be added to
some cycles. See Tables on previous page.
If an option is available with a selected cycle,
the light for that option will glow when selected.
If an option is unavailable with a selected
cycle, there will be a short tone and the light
for that option will not glow when selected.
Prewash
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need
pretreatment. This option adds a 15 minute
prewash and drain to the main wash cycle.
Add detergent to the Prewash and Main Wash
compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.
When using Prewash, do not use liquid de-
tergent in the Main Wash compartment. Use
powdered detergent for the main wash cycle.
NOTE: The Prewash and Auto Soak options can-
not be selected in the same cycle.
Auto Soak
Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily
soiled cotton, linen, polyester or nylon with set-
in stains. During Auto Soak, water will be added
to the basket and the laundry will be equally
distributed by a short tumbling phase. Laundry
will then be soaked in phases without basket
movement. After soaking, the washer drains
without spinning.
Added to a Wash Cycle: A 30 minute soak
time is added to the main wash cycle to im-
prove removal of set-in stains.
1. Add detergent to both the Prewash and Main
Wash compartments of the Dispenser
Drawer.
NOTE: The Auto Soak and Prewash options
cannot be selected in the same cycle. Use
powdered detergent for the main wash cycle
because liquid detergent will seep into the
washer during Auto Soak.
2. Select a Wash Cycle.
3. Select AUTO SOAK.
NOTE: For cycles with hot wash temperatures,
the soak temperature will be set to warm;
otherwise, the soak temperature will be the
same as the wash temperature.
4. Select and hold START (approximately 1
second). After soaking, the washer drains
and the wash cycle starts.
