STEAM CYCLES AND OPTIONS

Your washing machine features several additional cycle
options that customize cycles to meet your individual
needs.
1
Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob
to select the desired cycle.
2
Use the cycle modifier buttons to adjust the settings
for that cycle.
3
Press 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.
4
If the selected option is not allowed for the selected
cycle, the chime will sound twice to alert you and
the LED will not illuminate.
5
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.
NOTE: If the START/PAUSE button is not pressed within one
hour, the control will shut off and the settings will be lost.
STEAM TREAT
Select the STEAM TREAT button to add steam
to the selected cycle for added cleaning power.
Adding steam to cycles helps provide improved
cleaning performance. By creating steam,
fabrics get the benefit of a deep clean. The
steam option is not available on all cycles.
To add steam to a cycle:
1
Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob
to select a cycle that allows the steam option. Refer
to the Cycle Guide to see which cycles allow steam.
2
Press the STEAM TREAT button. The washer will
automatically adjust the cycle settings.
3
Set any other desired options.
4
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
NOTE:
The door may be very warm during steam cycles. This is
normal.
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 visible during the steam cycles. This
is normal.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool,
silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
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.
ACCELA WASH
The Accela-Wash option uses a twin spray
water and detergent injection which reduces
cycle time while maintaining wash
performance in a normal cycle.
DRUM LIGHT
The drum is equipped with a blue 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
EXTRA RINSE button for three seconds. The drum light
will illuminate and then turn off automatically after four
minutes.
NOTE: Clothes may appear to be yellow in the washer
while the drum light is on. This effect is caused by the
reflection of the light.
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 intermittently 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.
PRE WASH
Select this option to add a 15-minute prewash,
rinse and spin cycle to the chosen cycle. This is
especially useful for heavily soiled items.
