32 OPERATION

Cold Wash

This option saves energy by using cooler water while
increasing the wash and rinse times to maintain wash
performance.
NOTE
• Wash time will increase up to several minutes with
the Cold Wash option.
• For best wash results, only wash small loads (less
than 8 lb) with the Cold Wash option.

Add Garments

Use this function to add garments or remove foreign
objects like coins or keys after the cycle has started.
1
Press Add Garments. The cycle pauses and
the door unlocks.
2
Open the door, add garments or remove foreign
objects, and close the door.
3
Press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle.
The cycle continues automatically.
NOTE
• After checking the water level/temperature
conditions for safety, the door unlocks once the
wash movement has stopped . (Door Lock LED
turns off.)
• This may take several seconds depending on the
water level. When a lot of water is in the tub, the
door unlocks after water drains to a safe level.
• If the temperature in the tub is higher than 113°F
(45°C), a short warning chime sounds and Add
Garments is not allowed for safety.
• Add Garments is disabled during the Tub Clean
cycle or while a cycle is in Spin mode for safety.
• To preserve wash performance, wash time may be
extended depending on when garments are added
to a cycle.
WARNING
• Be careful when opening the door as wet
laundry may drip or fall out when the door is
opened.
• Do not attempt to force the door to open when
locked. Doing so could result in damage to the
machine, malfunction, or personal injury.

Child Lock

Use this option to disable the controls. This feature
can prevent children from changing cycles or
operating the machine. The feature does not lock the
lid. Once the Child Lock is set, it must be deactivated
before any controls, except the Power button, can
be used. Once the washer has shut off, the Power
button will allow the machine to be turned on, but the
controls will still be locked. When the controls are
locked, will display alternately with the estimated
time remaining. Press and hold the Pre Wash button
for seconds to activate or deactivate Child Lock.
NOTE
• Once the controls are locked, they must be
manually unlocked to restore operation.
Turbo Wash™
Adding the Turbo Wash™ option reduces the cycle
time while still providing similar wash performance to
the same cycle without Turbo Wash™.
NOTE
• The Turbo Wash™ option cannot be used with all
cycles.
• Turbo Wash™ defaults to on for Normal, Heavy
Duty and Perm.Press wash cycles.
Steam
Adding the Steam option to a wash cycle helps
provide superior cleaning performance. By using hot
steam, the fabrics will get the cleaning benefits of a
very hot wash.
NOTE
• The Steam option cannot be used with all cycles.
• Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam
cycles. This is normal. Too much steam could
damage clothing.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as
wool, silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
WARNING
• Do not touch the door during steam cycles. The
door surface can become very hot. Allow the
door lock to release before opening the door.
• Do not attempt to override the door lock
mechanism or reach into the washer during a
steam cycle. Steam can cause severe burns.
