Options
You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all options are
available with all cycles. Available options will glow amber. Current
selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected
cycle, the light will not illuminate.
See the “Laundry Guide” for an overview of possible options for
each Wash Cycle selection.
You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some options
cannot be added to some cycles. For example, Deep Clean
cannot be added to the Quick Wash cycle.
If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be
3 short tones, and the light for that option will not
glow when
selected.
Delay Wash
To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY WASH until the desired
delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining
display, and then select START. The countdown to the wash cycle
will show in the display window, and the button indicator will blink
until the cycle begins.
IMPORTANT:
When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the high efficiency “HE” detergent compartment since
liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay
Wash, before the wash cycle begins.
Clean Washer Remin
d
er
The Clean Washer Reminder light illuminates to remind you to use
the Clean Washer cycle regularly. The reminder light will illuminate
every 30 cycles. The reminder light may be reset by either running
the Clean Washer cycle, or by pressing the CLEAN WASHER
RESET button.
Deep Clean with Steam
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain
treatment, loads with multiple types of stains, or loads you
suspect as having stains, but are afraid may have been missed
(no sorting or searching for stains). When Deep Clean with Steam
is selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is
automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to
the temperature selected, along with steam, to aid in stain removal.
This option will provide optimal removal of organic stains such as
blood and grass.
Oxi Dispenser
Use this option when using an oxygen based stain fighter or
color-safe bleach in the dispenser. Selecting this option will delay
the addition of these products into the wash cycle and improve
their effectiveness.
Add using the “Oxi / Color-safe bleach” section of the dispenser
drawer.
Extra Rinse
An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Press CYCLE SIGNAL to select Loud,
Soft, or Off.
Button Soun
d
Button sounds are used to notify you of what has been selected
or to let you know when something is not available. Press
BUTTON SOUND to select Loud, Soft, or Off.
Modifiers
Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and Soil
Level can be changed. You can change a modifier after starting a
cycle anytime before the selected modifier begins. Not all modifiers
are available with all cycles and options. Available options will glow
amber. Current selections will glow green. If a modifier is unavailable
with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate.
NOTE:
The panel shown below may be different from that of your
model.
To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP
button until the desired setting glows green.
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting glows green.
To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button until the
desired setting glows green.
Water Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
