H
ow to use washer
STEAM cycles include the STEAM
FRESH™, ALLERGIENE™, SANITARY,
BRIGHT WHITES™, BULKY/LARGE,
PERM.PRESS, COTTON/NORMAL and
HEAVY DUTY cycles. Adding the Steam
option to these cycles provides superior cleaning
performance while reducing energy and water
consumption.
By using a hot steam spray from above and cooler
water below, fabrics get the cleaning benefits of a
super hot wash, without the energy usage or potential
damage to fabrics.
To Add STEAM to a Standard Cycle:
❶ Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector
knob to select a cycle with the STEAM option.
❷ Press the STEAM button. The washer will
automatically adjust the cycle settings.
❸ Set any other desired options.
❹ Press the START/PAUSE button to start the
cycle. The washer will start automatically.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the door during steam cycles.
The door surface can become very hot.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:
• Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam
cycles. This is normal. Too much steam could
damage clothing.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool,
silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
• Do not touch the door.
Using the Steam Fresh™ Cycle
Steam Fresh™ uses the power of steam alone to
quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It brings
new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for
an extended time and makes heavily wrinkled
clothes easier to iron. Steam Fresh™ can also be
used to help reduce odors in fabrics.
STEAM CYCLES
To Use the Steam Fresh™ Cycle:
❶ Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector
knob to select the Steam Fresh™ cycle.
❷ Load up to 5 items and close the door.
NOTE: If there is any moisture inside the drum,
such as from a previous wash cycle, wipe the
drum dry with a towel before adding clothes.
❸ Press the STEAM button until the correct number
of items is shown in the display.
No other options need to be set.
❹ Press the START/PAUSE button to start the
cycle.
After the Steam Fresh™ cycle is complete, the
washer will tumble the clothes for up to 30 minutes
to prevent rewrinkling.
After removing clothes from the Steam Fresh™
cycle, they may feel slightly damp. Place clothes on
a hanger for at least 10 minutes to allow them to dry.
• The Steam Fresh™ cycle is not recommended for
use with 100% cotton clothing.
• Remove stains from clothing before using the
Steam Fresh™ cycle; the high heat could cause
stains to set permanently.
• Do not use Steam Fresh™ with the following items
: wool, blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet clothes,
lingerie, foam products, or electric blankets.
• Best results are achieved when articles are of
similar size and fabric type. Do not overload.
SPEED WASH CYCLE
Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly
soiled clothing and small load. For high wash and
rinse efficiency, it is recommended to wash small
loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments.
NOTE: Use a little detergent in this cycle. If you want
more rinsing, you can add extra rinse by using the
option button.
