5 CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS NOTE: Not all Cycle Status Lights are available on all models. 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. Sensing When START is touched and held, the washer will first perform a self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial turn, and the door will click again as it unlocks briefly. The door will click one more time when it locks again. Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will begin spinning to sense the load size. This sensing process will continue throughout the cycle. You may also hear water flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load. After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the estimated time. The sensing light will blink once a second at various times during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra suds. Washing During the wash cycle, this will display to let you know the cycle is in progress. Add Garment When "Add Garment" is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the washer again. Detergent Low When detergent in the dispenser is running low, the display will show the detergent level (Low). 6 OPTIONS Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models. A Delay Start Touch this option to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours. B Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin The Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 24 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity. Fresh Spin also periodically tumbles the load after the end of the cycle but does not use an integrated fan. To turn on the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option, touch FRESH HOLD. If, however, the Fresh Hold/ Fresh Spin option is turned on, it will stay on for all future cycles until turned back off - the washer remembers the last on/off status set. To turn off the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option, touch FRESH HOLD. To turn off the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option when it is running, touch POWER. NOTE: The door will lock while the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER. C Steam The 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. An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. D Extra Rinse Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles. E Cycle Signal Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds the display will count down you will see "3," then "2," then "1." The display will start displaying the sound levels you will see "1," then "2," then "3," then "OFF." When the CYCLE SIGNAL is released the last value shown will be the current selection. F Control Lock Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 3 seconds again to unlock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is held down, the display will count down 1 second; you will see "3," then "2," then "1." You may still touch START to pause the cycle or touch POWER to turn off the washer. G Extra Power The Extra Power option boosts stain fighting performance on any wash cycle with a dual temperature wash, combining cold and hot temperature during different phases of the wash time. To use this function press the knob to activate the Extra Power option. For single dose dispensers and an additional 1/2 the manufacturer's recommended amount into the dispenser marked for Extra Power. 31
