Basic Options

Your washer includes several additional cycle options to customize cycles to meet your individual needs.

Note
  • The LED for the option will light when the option is selected.

  • To protect your garments, not every option is available with every cycle.

  • A chime will sound twice and the LED will not light if the selected option is not allowed for the selected cycle.

Steam

Adding this option to a wash cycle helps provide superior cleaning performance. Using steam gives fabrics the cleaning benefits of a very hot wash.

  • Steam may not be clearly visible during steam cycles. This is normal. Too much steam could damage clothing.

  • Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool and silk, or easily discolored fabrics.

Warning
  • Do not touch the door during steam cycles. The door surface can become very hot and can cause severe burns. Allow the door lock to release before opening the door.

  • Do not attempt to override the door lock mechanism or reach into the washer during a steam cycle. Steam can cause severe burns.

Extra Rinse

This option adds an extra rinse to the selected cycle. Use this option to help ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from fabrics.

  • Press the Extra Rinse button to add from 1 to 3 additional rinses to the cycle.

Delay Start

Once you have selected the cycle and other settings, press the Delay Start button to delay the start of the wash cycle.

  • Turn the knob to increase the delay time in 30-minute increments, from 1 hour up to 19 hours.

  • Once the desired delay time is set, press the Start/Pause button to start the delay time.

Note
  • If the Start/Pause button is not pressed to begin the delay time, the washer automatically turns off after a certain time and all cycle settings are lost.

Fresh Care

Use this function when you will not be able to unload your clothes immediately after the wash cycle ends.

  • The drum will tumble periodically for up to 19 hours to prevent wrinkles.
