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. It is available with all cycles except Delicates, Quick Wash, Rinse & Spin and Spin Only. 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. 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. Closing the door turns off the light. The drum light will automatically turn off if the door is left open more than 3 minutes. On models with Press & Hold features, you can activate the drum light during a cycle by pressing and holding the button under Options with the symbol. The light will stay on during the cycle for 3 minutes. To turn it off, press and hold the button again. Stain Pretreat (on select models) Stain Pretreat uses a special 10 minute soak/pretreat agitation before the main wash. It fills initially with detergent and cold water to prevent protein stains from setting, then the internal heater is activated to heat the wash water to remove non-protein based stains. Can be used with Prewash for the toughest stains. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 17
