Operating instructions.

Cycle Options

Soak

This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically. 

Repeated pressing of the 

Soak

 button will add 15, then 30 and then return back to 0 soak minutes.

Extra Rinse

When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the 

Extra Rinse

 option to better remove additional residues. 

NOTE: 

This option is not allowed for some cycles. 

Fabric Softener

Set this option to provide a 

deep rinse 

or when manually adding fabric softener to the rinse cycle. 

NOTE: 

This option is not allowed for some 

cycles. When allowed, it may change other settings (e.g. 

Spin

 may go to a higher setting) to maximize performance.

NOTE:

 Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls with this washer. They do not work correctly in high efficiency washers.

Pretreat/Bleach

Set this option to add pretreatment -

OR

- bleach in the next load. Press once to indicate adding pretreatment (light on above button), twice 

to specify bleach (light on below button), three times to turn off (no light). Pretreatment or bleach will be added at the optimal time during the 

wash cycle (differs for pretreatment or bleach).

NOTE:

 

Do 

NOT

 use pretreatment and bleach in the same load. If you forget to dispense (did not press button once or twice), you can flush 

out the dispenser by pouring water into the compartment and running a 

Quick Rinse

 cycle to remove from the tub.

Delay Wash

When the 

Delay Wash

 button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time is set from 1 (01H) to 9 (09H) hours and back to clear (00H) hours. If you 

press and hold the 

Delay Wash

 button for 3 seconds, it will immediately reset.

Additional Options

My Settings

As the cycle selector knob is turned, the 

Soil

Temp

 and 

Spin

 settings change to automatic pre-set default settings. If you desire a different 

setting, select the desired options or changes to cycle settings. Press and hold the 

My Settings

 button for 3 seconds, the washer will save 

these settings for that cycle and the status heart     and 

My Settings

 button will light when active. In the future, when you turn the selector 

knob to that cycle, your settings will be automatically recalled. To temporarily (i.e. for this load) return to the pre-set default settings, press the 

My Settings

 button for 1/2 second. The status heart     and button lights will turn off and the options will change back to these defaults. To 

make these default settings permanent, hold the 

My Settings

 button again for 3 seconds to make them your preferred settings (the lights 

will turn back on). 

NOTE:

 

My Settings 

includes 

Stain Removal Guide 

and 

Steam Assist

 but 

not

 

Delay Wash

 or 

Variable Signal - 

or 

any 

bulk 

dispense options.

Variable Signal

Use the 

Variable Signal 

button to change the volume of the end of cycle signal. Press the button until you reach the desired volume (high, 

medium, low) or off.

Basket Light

The basket light will turn on when the 

Basket Light

 button is pressed, the lid is lifted, or the cycle knob is turned. It will stay on for 5 minutes or until the 

Basket Light

 button or 

Power

 button is pressed.

Control Lock

You can lock the controls to prevent any selections from being made. Or you can lock the controls after you have started a cycle. Children 

cannot accidentally start the washer by touching buttons with this option selected.

7RORFNWKHZDVKHUFRQWUROV

 press and hold the 

Control

 

Lock 

button for 3 seconds. The control lock icon will light up when it is on.

7RXQORFNWKHZDVKHUFRQWUROV

 press and hold the 

Control Lock

 button for 3 seconds.

NOTE:

 The

 

Power

 button can still be used when the machine is locked.

eWash

When the 

eWash

 button is pressed, the cycle changes to its most energy efficient settings and all of the 

eMonitor

 lights will light to indicate 

that the most efficient settings are on. If you change settings, the 

eWash

 light will go off and the number of 

eMonitor

 lights will decrease (or 

increase) to indicate decreased (or increased) energy efficiency settings.

SmartDispense™

The 

SmartDispense™

 feature allows you to set your liquid HE (High Efficiency) detergent and/or softener dispensing preferences for 

your load. This feature can be used with any wash cycle, except for 

Quick Rinse

Drain & Spin

 and 

BASKETclean

 cycles. 

The 

SmartDispense™

 system automatically dispenses liquid HE (High Efficiency) detergent and/or concentrated liquid fabric 

softener into each cycle at the optimal times.
To utilize the 

SmartDispense™

 dispensers, they must first be filled. Although any liquid HE (High Efficiency) laundry detergent 

and concentrated liquid fabric softener can be used in the 

SmartDispense™

 system, all liquid HE (High Efficiency) detergents and 

concentrated liquid fabric softeners are not the same.

CAUTION!

 

Absolutely do not store liquid chlorine bleach, powder detergent, non-concentrated liquid fabric softener or other 

laundry additives in any of the tanks. Use only liquid detergent which has been specifically designed for use in High Efficiency washers.
