Add Steam (on some models)
Add Steam adds steam into the washer to assist with loosening stains on the Whites,
Colors/Normal, Towels/Sheets, Active Wear, Bulky Items or Sanitize cycles.
To use:
1. Turn power ON and select a wash cycle.
2. Select the Add Steam button to activate steam.
3. Press the Start/Pause button.
Soil
Change the Soil level to increase or decrease the wash time to remove different amounts of
soil.
To change the Soil level, press the Soil level button until you have reached the desired setting.
You can choose between Extra Light, Light, Normal, Heavy or Extra Heavy soil levels.
Temp
Adjust to select the proper main water temperature for the wash cycle. The PreWash rinse
water is always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and wrinkles.
Follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when selecting the wash temperature.
To change the wash temperature, press the wash Temp button until you have reached
the desired setting. You can choose between Tap Cold, Cold, Warm, Hot or Extra Hot (Extra
Hot is available on some models). By design, to protect fabrics, not all wash temperatures are
available for certain wash cycles.
NOTE: The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the
fabric and preventing stains from setting on garments.
Spin
Changing the Spin speed changes the final spin speed of the cycles. Always follow the garment
manufacturer's care label when changing the Spin speed.
To change the Spin speed, press the Spin speed button until you have reached the desired
setting. You can choose between No Spin, Low, Medium, High or Max. Higher spin speeds are
not available on certain cycles, such as Delicates.
Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may
also increase the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics.
My Cycle (on some models)
To save a favorite cycle, set the desired settings for wash cycle, soil level, spin speed and wash temp
settings and hold down the My Cycle button for 3 seconds. A beep will sound to indicate the cycle has
been saved.
To use your custom cycle, press the My Cycle button before washing a load.
To change the saved cycle, set the desired settings and hold down the My Cycle button for 3
seconds.
NOTE: When using My Cycle, wash options cannot be modified after the cycle has been
started.
NOTE: If you change wash options with My Cycle before starting the cycle, the My Cycle
light will turn off and you will be returned to the base cycle.
PreWash (on some models)
Prewash is an extra wash before the main wash. Use it for heavily soiled clothes or for
clothes with a care label that recommends prewashing before washing. Be sure to add liquid
or powder high-efficiency detergent, or the proper wash additive to the prewash dispenser.
PreWash must be selected prior to pressing Start.
The PreWash feature will fill the washer with cold water (adding the prewash detergent),
tumble the clothes, drain and spin. Then the washer will run the selected wash cycle.
NOTE: In some special cycles, the prewash is selected automatically as the default. You
can modify this selection at any time.
