8. You can customize your wash by adding rinse Options to your cycle selections. This knob
has settings for:
Extra Rinse - Selecting this option provides a second rinse. An Extra Rinse can be
added to any wash cycle.
Cycle Signal - A tone will sound at the end of the cycle. The sound level cannot be
adjusted.
Extra Rinse & Cycle Signal - This option combines both a Extra Rinse and a Cycle
Signal at the end of the wash cycle.
9. The SensiCare P'_System/on some models) is an integrated set of controls which work
together to provide optimal wash temperatures, agitation times, and agitation/spin speeds
based on the Fabric Select setting. The controls provide higher wash temperatures for
more aggressive, heavy-duty cycles and slightly lower temperatures on cycles for delicate
and hand wash items, to provide better fabric care. The timer knob allows you to decrease
agitation time for light soils and increase agitation time for heavy soils.
