1 STEP WASH + DRY
This option is available on all cycles except Self Clean.
The 1 STEP WASH + DRY is intended for small loads only. Use when clothes need to be washed, dried and
ready to wear or finished the next morning. This feature will tumble clothes and introduce a constant stream of
air into the washer compartment upon completion of select wash cycles. Although the drying portion is set to 8
hours, the clothes can be removed at any time by pressing Pause or Power to cancel the cycle.
Tumble Care
(on some models)
Freshly tumbles your garments periodically for up to 8 hours after the wash cycle is complete to lessen the
setting of wrinkles and creases when you are not able to move clothing to the dryer right away.
At the end of the cycle, the display will scroll "END" and after ten minutes the Tumble Care will begin. It can be
stopped at any time by pressing the Power pad.
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. Washers equipped with SmartDispense will automatically add
the proper amount of detergent for prewash based on the load size.
PreWash must be selected prior to pressing Start.
The PreWash feature will fill the washer (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 turn off this
selection at any time. The main wash will use new detergent from the manual detergent compartment and from
the SmartDispense tank (on some models).
AutoSoak
(on some models)
For soaking your garments prior to the wash cycle. This option begins with a brief tumble and then proceeds to
soak the clothes with water and detergent for a specified period of time. Once complete, the cycle will continue
automatically. AutoSoak must be selected prior to pressing the start pad. The AutoSoak time will add an
additional 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours to the overall wash time. High-efficiency detergent from the
main wash compartment in the dispenser is used for the AutoSoak period and main wash cycle.
Extra Rinse
This option allows for an extra rinse during a cycle to remove excess dirt and detergent from soiled loads.
Press the Extra Rinse pad to select.
NOTE: On RINSE & SPIN cycle, a drain and spin cycle can be achieved by pressing the Extra Rinse pad until
the LED is no longer illuminated.
Light
(on some models)
The basket light will turn on and remain on for 5 minutes when the door opens, Start/Pause pad is pressed, or
by pressing the Light pad.
The basket light can be turned off by pressing the Light pad.
Add Garment
(on some models)
If you need to add garments after the cycle has started, press the Add Garment pad and the unit will unlock the
door, allowing additional garments. The Add Garment feature is only available when the LED is lit on the pad.
After a certain point in the cycle, the LED will not be lit any longer and adding a garment is not allowed.
Sound
To change the loudness of the end of cycle signal and the press pad volume, press the Sound pad as many
times as needed to reach the desired volume. There are four sound levels including off.
Control Lock (Light-Control Lock pad)
You can lock the controls to prevent any selections from being made. Or you can lock or unlock the controls
after you have started a cycle.
Children cannot accidentally start the washer by touching pads with this option selected.
To lock/unlock the washer, press and hold the Control Lock/Light-Control Lock pad for 3 seconds. A sound
is made to indicate the lock/unlock status. The control lock icon on the display will light up when it is on.
NOTE: The Power pad can still be used when the machine is locked.
