HOW TO USE CYCLE OPTION BUTTONS Your washing machine features several additional cycle options to customize cycles to meet your individual needs. Certain option buttons also feature a special function (see the following page for details) that can be activated by pressing and holding that option button for 3 seconds. To Add Cycle Options to a Cycle: 1 Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle. 2 Use the cycle settings buttons to adjust the settings for that cycle. 3 Press the cycle option button(s) for the option you would like to add. The cycle option buttons, except DELAY, will light when selected. 4 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. The washer will start automatically. NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/ rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level or option is available with every cycle. See the Cycle Guide for details. DELAY WASH Once you have selected the cycle and other settings, press this button to delay the start of the wash cycle. Each press of the button increases the delay time by one hour, up to 19 hours. PREWASH Select this option to add a 16-minute prewash and spin cycle to the chosen cycle. This is especially useful for heavily soiled items. RINSE+SPIN Select this option to rinse and spin a load separately from a regular cycle. This can be helpful in preventing fresh stains from setting in fabrics. To activate the Rinse+Spin cycle: 1 Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the washer. 2 Press the RINSE+SPIN button. 3 Press the START/PAUSE button. EXTRA RINSE This option will add an extra rinse cycle to the selected cycle. Use this option to help ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from fabrics. STAIN CYCLE Select this option for heavily stained clothes, such as play clothes or work clothes. Stain Cycle will add extra wash time to the selected cycle, as well as an additional rinse cycle. WATER PLUS Select this option to add extra water to the wash and rinse cycles for superior results, especially with large or bulky items. HOW TO USE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS The option buttons also activate special functions, including CHILD LOCK, TUB CLEAN, and SPINSENSE™. Press and hold the option button marked with the special function for 3 seconds to activate. LOAD SIZE At the beginning of the cycle, the washer tumbles the load and detects the weight of the clothes. The display will indicate the approximate load size in the LOAD SIZE display. This allows you to adjust the amount of detergent and other additives for best results and improved efficiency. See page 23 for details. CHILD LOCK Use this option to prevent unwanted use of the washer or to keep cycle settings from being changed while the washer is operating. Press and hold the PREWASH button for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate CHILD LOCK. The lock icon will be shown in the display, and all controls are disabled. The washer can be locked during a cycle. Once CHILD LOCK is selected, the display will alternate between CL and the time remaining. TUB CLEAN A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the wash tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. The TUB CLEAN cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup. Press and hold the EXTRA RINSE button for 3 seconds to activate this cycle. The display will show a message to add liquid bleach to the dispenser. After the cycle has ended, open the door and allow the drum interior to dry completely. NOTE: Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener. SPINSENSE™ SPINSENSE can be used to help reduce or eliminate vibrations, especially on wood floor installations. To activate SPINSENSE™: While the washing machine is running in any cycle, press and hold the STAIN CYCLE button for 3 seconds. The SPIN SPEED button light will blink while the washer is running to show that SPINSENSE is active. The SPINSENSE function will remain active for every cycle, even after a power failure. To cancel SPINSENSE™: Press and hold the STAIN CYCLE button for 3 seconds to turn off the SPINSENSE function. BEEPER ON/OFF You may turn the end-of-cycle beeper on or off with the WATER PLUS button during the cycle. Press and hold the WATER PLUS button for 3 seconds to turn the beeper OFF. Press and hold the WATER PLUS button again for 3 seconds to turn the beeper back on. 24 MFL31245113_ENG.indd 24-25 25 2007.10.4 2:31:55 PM
