ADD STEAM
Select this option to add approximately 20 min- utes of tumbling in steam during the wash cycle. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads to help enhance the release of tough stains from fabrics after initial agitation.
NOTE
•Steam may not necessarily be visible inside drum during a steam wash cycle.
•Steam may not be present during entire steam wash cycle.
IMPORTANT
•If steam is selected, rinse temperatures will be elevated.
•If washer is paused during a steam wash cycle, the door will remain locked due to higher temperature in drum. DO NOT force open - it will unlock upon cooling.
•During a steam cycle you may notice steam exiting from the rear vent of the washer - this is normal and not cause for alarm.
SHRINK GUARD (press & hold)
Select shrink guard to help relax load after final spin by agitating, preventing shrinking and wrin- kling.
FRESH RINSE
Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recom- mended for heavily soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin.
CONTROL LOCK
To lock the controls between cycles, press and hold the control lock button for 5 seconds. Re- peat to unlock the controls when you are ready to operate the washer. Use this feature to reduce the likelihood of accidental operation by children.
ECO FRIENDLY
The eco friendly option reduces the hot and warm water temperature a few degrees to save energy.
STATUS DISPLAY
The estimated total cycle time will be displayed when the cycle is selected. The time may increase if water pressure is low, oversudsing occurs or the load becomes unbalanced. The approximate time remaining will be displayed during the cycle.
The following will also be displayed at the appropriate times during the cycle:
DOOR LOCK | RINSING |
PREWASHING | DRAINING |
WASHING | SPINNING |
ADDING STEAM | CYCLE COMPLETE |
OVERSUDS DETECTION
A situation where oversudsing has been detected by the washer will result in the washer automati- cally adding up to 4 extra rinses to attempt to clear the suds. Each extra rinse the washer performs to clear the suds will add 5 minutes to the cycle display time. If an excessive amount of detergent has been added and additional rinsing has not cor-
rected the issue,will be displayed.
REVERSIBLE DOOR
Your washer is equipped with a reversible door. The door can be hinged on the right or left side.
