EXTRA RINSE This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to most cycles. DEEP CLEAN + STEAM The Deep Clean + Steam option adds additional soak and wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains, as well as a steam boost for added cleaning power. Deep Clean + Steam uses a heater within the washer to maintain the selected temperature setting throughout the wash period. Deep Clean + Steam may be selected as an option with other cycles. Note: The Deep Clean + Steam option may increase the selected temperature. DEEP FILL If you would like to add the maximum amount of water to your wash cycle, select the Deep Fill option. NOTE: Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill times when using the Deep Fill option. CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers. DELAY When Delay Start has been selected, the Delay light will illuminate and remain illuminated until the cycle begins. LID LOCKED The Lid Locked feature allows for higher spin speeds. When lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened without pausing the cycle. When the light is off, the lid can be opened. To open the lid after it has been locked, press START/ PAUSE. The lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Press START/PAUSE while the lid is closed to resume the cycle. 7 SENSING You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. WASH During the first stage of the wash cycle, water will partially fill the washer and begin to move the load. You will hear the impeller rotate followed by a several second pause. This process will repeat for several minutes, allowing the entire load to become saturated. It is normal for the load to be above the water line during this stage. At the beginning of the second stage, the washer will add water to the correct level based on the load size. You will hear the impeller increase speed during this stage of the wash cycle. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the wash cycle. RINSE You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. SPIN The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal based on the selected cycle and spin speed. DONE Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
