Steam Cycle Selection

Specialty Cycle Selection

IMPORTANT

If washer is paused during the steam portion of a steam 
cycle, the door will remain locked due to higher temperature 
in drum. DO NOT force open - it will unlock upon cooling.

NOTE

• Steam may not necessarily be visible inside drum during 

the steam cycles.

• Steam may not be present during entire cycle.

NOTE

STEAM REFRESH is not a washing cycle. It is intended for 
clean, dry clothes. Take care not to load items with stains.

NOTE

Washing wool garments labeled “

Dry Clean Only” or using 

chlorine bleach can result in permanent damage.

To scroll through the steam cycles, continue to press the 

steam cycles

 icon. The selected cycle will be displayed on the 

text display.

To scroll through the specialty cycles, continue to press the 

specialty cycles

 icon. The selected cycle will be shown on the 

text display.

fast wash

Quickly wash a small, lightly soiled load in 22 minutes.

whites

Use this cycle for white fabrics and lightly colored clothing. 
Refer to fabric care label for use of liquid chlorine bleach. Hot 
water is recommended to ensure optimal bleach activation. For 
peak rinsing performance and to avoid chlorine residues on 
your laundry add 

fresh rinse

 to this cycle.

wool

Designed for a small load of machine-washable woolen items, 
the 

wool

 cycle uses gentle washing action along with cold 

rinses to eliminate shrinking and damage to wool. You may 
use an 

 wool detergent approved for front load washers.

steam refresh

Refresh a small load of dry clothes with the perfect amount of 
steam. Steam alone will infuse into the dry load as it tumbles 
to refresh fabrics, remove odors, and release wrinkles, 
reducing ironing. Remove load, hang or iron as necessary.

normal with steam

Operating Instructions

and mixed loads.

casual with steam

Steam cycle for cycle for cottons and blends with a permanent 
press or no-iron finish.

jeans

Select this specialty cycle for washing an entire load of lightly 
to normally soiled denim jeans or similarly-colored cotton 
khakis.

clean washer

To clean and freshen the washer, perform the clean washer 
cycle. This maintenance cycle uses hot water and two cold 
rinses to remove residue that may cause odor. See “Inside 
Routine Cleaning (Preventive)” for detailed information about 
the clean washer cycle.
