6 OPTIONS Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models. A Steam Clean The Steam Clean 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. See the "Cycle Guide" for cycles that allow the Steam Clean option. B EcoBoost™ option Touch to activate the EcoBoost™ option. The EcoBoost™ option provides additional energy savings through reduced hot water usage and maintains cleaning performance by lengthening the wash time on some cycles. C Fan Dry Option (on some models) The Fan Dry option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 12 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity. To turn on the Fan Dry option, touch Fan Dry. If, however, the Fan Dry 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 Fan Dry option, touch Fan Dry. You may also activate the Fan Dry option without running a cycle by touching and holding POWER for one second, then touching and holding Fan Dry for 3 seconds, then touching and holding START for 3 seconds. To turn off the Fan Dry option when it is running, touch POWER. NOTE: The door will lock while the Fan Dry option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER. C TumbleFresh™ Option (on some models) The TumbleFresh™ option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 6 hours to reduce humidity. To turn on the TumbleFresh™ option, touch TumbleFresh™.

See "Using the Dispenser Drawer" for information on using the dispenser drawer. A High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent for your main wash cycle. B Liquid fabric softener compartment Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at the optimum time in the cycle. n Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. C Liquid chlorine bleach compartment Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the optimum time during the first rinse after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach. Choosing the Right Detergent Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent. 5
