• Soak — The Soak setting can be used to treat heavily soiled or stained items. It provides 2 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of soaking time, then advances to the Prewash portion of the cycle. Use the amount of detergent recommended for a normal wash cycle. For colorfast items, bleach or a soaking agent may also be used. Follow manufacturer's directions on the product label.

AGITATE/SPIN SPEED determines speeds for the agitation and spin portions of each cycle.

LOAD SIZE determines the amount of wash and rinse water used for the wash load. To increase the water level after the wash cycle begins, turn the Load Size control to Reset and hold. When water begins to enter the tub, turn the control to the desired setting.
