Getting started
Wash Options
F
Control Lock
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 Combo by touching buttons with this option selected.
To lock/unlock the Combo controls, press and hold the Control Lock button for 3 seconds. On some models, it is
accessed through the Extra Rinse button with this press and hold action. On other models, it is accessed through the
Menu button with the same press and hold action. 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 button can still be used when Control Lock is active.
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 button to select.
More Water (on some models)
This option adds up to approximately 3 gallons to the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. If the option is
selected before the cycle starts, the water will be added from the beginning of the cycle and later to the rinse.
If the option is selected during the wash portion, more water will be added at this point and later to the rinse.
Likewise, if the More Water option is selected after the wash portion has completed, the Combo will add more
water to the rinse only. If wash and rinse have completed, the More Water button will no longer be active.
Pet Hair (on some models)
This feature utilizes filtered high-speed air before the wash cycle to assist with the removal of pet hair and dander
on laundry items. Pet Hair mode can be activated from the Pet Hair button on some models, or from within the
Menu by setting the duration of the pre-cycle no-heat air fluff time to 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Fifteen minutes
should provide sufficient results, but you may desire to increase the air fluff time to improve performance. This
mode will remain ON for subsequent cycles, until you turn it off. It is not necessary to clean the EZ access lint
filter until after the entire cycle (WASH + DRY or WASH only) completes. This feature is not available on DRY
only cycles. NOTE: This feature may require a software update through the SmartHQ App to add it to the Menu.
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.
NOTE: PreWash can only use detergent from the SmartDispense detergent tank. SmartDispense will automatically
add the proper amount of detergent for prewash based on the load size. If you choose to deselect
SmartDispense detergent to support a manual detergent dose, the PreWash cannot be activated.
PreWash must be selected prior to pressing Start. On some models PreWash can be activated using the PreWash
button. On other models, PreWash can be activated in the Menu.
The PreWash feature will fill the Combo (adding the prewash detergent), tumble the clothes, drain and spin.
Then the Combo will run the selected cycle.
NOTE: In some special cycles, PreWash is selected automatically as the default. You can turn off this selection
at any time. The main wash will use new detergent from either the manual detergent compartment or from the
SmartDispense tank if SmartDispense is selected. If you activate it, do not add additional detergent.
Remote Start
After choosing the cycle and the desired options, press and hold for 3 seconds either the More Water/Remote
Start button or the More Dry/Remote Start button to allow the Combo to start a cycle from the SmartHQ App.
The LCD screen will show a purple box as the first sequence before the blue WASH and /or magenta DRY
operations for that cycle to indicate that the Combo will await your command to begin the cycle. It is important
to hit the Start/Pause button to confirm that you want to activate Remote Start fully. You will hear the drain
pump pulse twice and the door locking to indicate that the Combo is synchronized with the App.
To cancel Remote Start, you can either press and hold the More Water/Remote Start or More Dry/Remote
Start button once again or Power Off the Combo.
Remote Start can also be initiated from with the Menu under the Delay Start item by turning it On from there.
SmartDispense™ - Detergent (on some models)
When selected, this feature will automatically add detergent to the wash based on the load size, eliminating the need to
add detergent for each load. Multi-tapping this button will step through dosing levels of AUTO, MORE, and LESS (levels
visualized on the LCD screen and the LED indicator next to the button will be ON) and OFF (level shows off on the
LCD and the LED indicator will be off). Once a cycle has started, the visible symbols will become hidden and a single
touch of this button will show your current selection and multi-tapping will cycle through AUTO, MORE, LESS, and OFF.
Some models also have Adaptive SmartDispense capability through the SmartHQ App. With this enhancement, you
can select the specific type of detergent and, in addition to using load size information, it will adjust the dosage based on
the detergent manufacturer's recommendations. See the SmartDispense - Detergent section for details.
