OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Cycle Options, continued add steam Select this option to add approximately 20 minutes of tumbling in steam during the wash cycle. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads to help enhance the release of tough stains from fabrics after initial agitation. Í NOTE • Steam may not necessarily be visible inside drum during a steam wash cycle. • Steam may not be present during entire steam wash cycle. IMPORTANT • If steam is selected, rinse temperatures will be elevated. • If washer is paused during a steam wash cycle, the door will remain locked due to higher temperature in drum. DO NOT force open - it will unlock upon cooling. • During a steam cycle you may notice steam exiting from the rear vent of the washer - this is normal and not cause for alarm. stain clean (on select models) Use the stain clean option to add a 5-minute soak in the middle of the wash portion of the heavy duty, whites, normal, casual, and delicates cycles. drum light ( press & hold on some models) The drum light will come on whenever the door is opened to illuminate the drum during loading and unloading.
