Normal Washer Sounds

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and
spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be
momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing
during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses
are part of normal washer operation.
You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all options are
available with all cycles. Available options will glow amber. Current
selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a
selected cycle, the light will not illuminate.
■ See the "Laundry Guide" for an overview of possible options
for each Wash Cycle selection.
■ You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some
options cannot be added to some cycles. If an option is
unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be 3 short tones,
and the light for that option will not glow when selected.
Delay Wash
To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY WASH until the
desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time
Remaining display, and then select START. The countdown to the
wash cycle will show in the display window, and the button
indicator will blink until the cycle begins.
IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents
may seep out of the compartment during Delay Wash, before the
wash cycle begins.

Options

FanFresh™ option
Use this option when you are not able to unload your clothes,
soon after the wash cycle ends. This option provides periodic
tumbling and airflow (aided by a quiet, ultra low energy fan) for up
to 10 hours to help freshen your clothes. During this time, the
"Done" indicator remains activated, the door remains locked, and
the FanFresh™ indicator light will flash. The FanFresh™ option
will automatically stop and the door lock will be released after this
time expires, or if you press cancel at anytime to unload your
laundry.
Deep Clean
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain
treatment, loads with multiple types of stains, or loads you
suspect as having stains, but are afraid may have been missed
(no sorting or searching for stains). When Deep Clean is selected,
the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is automatically
set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to the temperature
selected, to aid in stain removal. This option will provide optimal
removal of organic stains such as blood and grass.
Pre Soak
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled items that need
pretreatment.
■ Add detergent to Main Wash compartment of the dispenser
drawer.
This option adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle.
The washer continues automatically from presoak into the main
wash cycle.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Press CYCLE SIGNAL to select Loud,
Soft, or Off. To activate/deactivate button sound hold cycle signal
button for 3 seconds.
