reselected each time.
perfect steam
TM
(on select models)
Select this option to add approximately 20
minutes of tumbling in steam during the wash
cycle. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads
to help enhance the release of tough stains from
fabrics after initial agitation.
NOTE
●
Steam may not necessarily be visible inside
drum during a steam wash cycle.
●
Steam may not be present during entire
steam wash cycle.
extra rinse
Use this option when additional rinsing is desired
to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recom-
mended for heavily soiled loads or if household
members have sensitive skin.

“dry” agitation to loosen the garments from the
side of the drum.
extended refresh (on certain models)
Select
extended refresh
if you know you will be
unable to remove the load right after the cycle
is complete. The washer recognizes the load has
sat too long and will do a rinse and spin to keep
the load fresh. It will do this for up to 12 hours.

the
extended refresh
segment, you must press
cancel
to end the cycle and open the door.

If washer is paused during a steam wash
cycle, the door will remain locked due to
higher temperature in drum. DO NOT force
