HOW TO USE

OPTION BUTTONS

Your washing machine features several additional cycle options that customize cycles to meet your individual needs.

1Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.

2Use the cycle modifier buttons to adjust the settings for that cycle.

3Press the cycle option button(s) for the option(s) you would like to add. The button will light when that option is selected. For secondary functions, press and hold the button for three seconds. The LED will blink when the secondary option is selected. Both options cannot be selected together.

4If the selected option is not allowed for the selected cycle, the chime will sound twice to alert you and the LED will not illuminate.

Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. After a brief delay, the door will lock and the cycle will begin.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every option is available with every cycle (refer to pages 14 and 15).

NOTE: If the START/PAUSE button is not pressed within four minutes, the control will shut off and the settings will be lost.

DELAY START

Once you have selected the cycle and other settings, press this button to delay the start

of the wash cycle. Each press of the button increases the delay time by one hour, for up to 19 hours. Once the desired delay time is

set, press the START/PAUSE button to start the delay time.

EXTRA RINSE

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

NOTE: Extra Rinse and Smart Sense cannot be selected at the same time.

STAIN TREAT

Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment. When

STAIN TREAT is selected, the water temperature for the selected cycle will begin as warm water to help prevent the

setting of certain types of stains. Then, as the cycle progresses, the water will heat to higher temperatures to help remove stains that require treatment at higher temperatures. NOTE: If the STAIN TREAT option is selected with the SANITIZE cycle, the cycle will begin with very hot water, because hot water is the default for the SANITIZE cycle and cannot be changed.

STAY FRESH

This feature helps keep wrinkles from setting in clothes and helps keep them fresh if they

are not removed from the washer as soon

as the cycle is complete. Press the STAY FRESH button to tumble the clothes intermit-

tently and circulate fresh air through the drum for up to eight hours. Press the POWER button or the START/PAUSE button to remove clothes at any time.

SAVE ENERGY

This option saves energy by using cooler water while increasing the wash and rinse times to maintain wash performance. This feature is only available with the NORMAL/CASUAL and HEAVY DUTY cycles as listed below.

NORMAL/CASUAL – Hot/Cold becomes Warm/Cold

NORMAL/CASUAL – Warm/Cold becomes Cold/Cold

HEAVY DUTY – Hot/Cold becomes Warm/Cold

PRE-WASH

Select this option to add a 16-minute pre- wash, rinse and spin cycle to the chosen cycle. This is especially useful for heavily soiled items. To use the Pre-Wash feature, press and hold the SAVE ENERGY button for three seconds.

SMART SENSE

This feature uses a sensor in the drum to check the hardness of the water and the detergent amount. Wash and rinse cycles

will be adjusted to optimize wash and rinse performance. To use the SMART

SENSE feature, press and hold the EXTRA RINSE button for three seconds.

Insufficient detergent amount will cause the wash time and temperature to increase.

Too much detergent will cause the rinse time to increase.

An excessive amount of detergent will result in extra rinses, to ensure that all detergent is removed from the load.

NOTE: Extra Rinse and Smart Sense cannot be selected at the same time.
