2 Fill the bleach dispenser to the MAX line with liquid chlorine bleach. Do not overfill the bleach dispenser. Overfilling will cause the bleach to dispense immediately.
NOTE: For other drum clearing products, follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. For powdered cleaning products, add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer. Place tablet cleaners directly into the drum.
3 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
4 After the cycle has ended, secure the door slightly ajar with the door magnet. This will promote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. To use this feature, close the door just until it contacts the door magnet.
NOTE: Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
CONTROL LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls. The washer can only be locked during a cycle. This feature can prevent children from
changing cycles or operating the machine. Once set, the controls remain locked and
must be turned OFF before the controls can be used again. Once the washer has shut off, the power button will allow the machine to be turned ON, but the controls will still be locked. When the controls are locked, the CONTROL LOCK LED will illuminate and “CL” will display alternately with the estimated time remaining.
Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for five seconds to activate or deactivate the controls.
CLEAN WASHER
Detergent residue can build up in the wash drum over time and can lead to a mildewy
or musty smell. The CLEAN WASHER cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup
using bleach or another cleaner designed specifically for cleaning front load washers. Run the CLEAN WASHER cycle once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is present. See complete instructions in the CARE AND CLEANING section on page 24.

HOW TO USE

MY CYCLE

MY CYCLE allows you to store a customized wash cycle for future use. It allows you to

save favorite temperature, spin speed, soil level, and other options for a cycle, and

then recall them at the touch of a button.

NOTE: You can only save a setting for one cycle at a time. Pressing and holding the MY CYCLE button will overwrite any previously saved cycle.

To save a MY CYCLE:

1Press the POWER button to turn on the washer.

2Turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.

3Press the CYCLE MODIFIER button to change the desired setting.

4Press the CYCLE OPTION button to add the desired options.

5Press and hold the MY CYCLE button.

To recall a MY CYCLE:

1Press the POWER button to turn on the washer.

2Press the MY CYCLE button. The stored settings will be displayed.

3Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

NOTE: MY CYCLE can be adjusted the same as any other cycle. However, once any other button is pressed, the LED will turn off indicating that the settings are no longer those of your saved cycle.

DRUM LIGHT

The drum is equipped with an LED light that illuminates when the washer is

turned ON. This light automatically turns OFF when the door is closed and the

cycle starts. To turn ON the light during a cycle, press and hold the STAY FRESH

button for three seconds. The drum light will turn OFF automatically after five minutes.

AUTO SOAK

Use the AUTO SOAK option to presoak garments to help remove difficult spots or

stains on fabric. This option provides a 30 minute presoak prior to the start of the

selected cycle. At the end of the presoak time, the selected cycle will use the same water.

To use the AUTO SOAK feature, press and hold the DELAY START button for three seconds.
