Getting started
Cycle Options
H
Deep Fill
Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is desired. The Deep Fill feature is recommended for special case
loads only, not for typical use.
Press and release the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add 3 addition gallons of water to the wash load.
Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the
additional time it takes to fill the washer.
To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again.
NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if
additional water is desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop.
Power Pre-wash (on some models)
Ideal for heavily soiled loads, this cycle option works with SmartDispense™ to add a brief wash, soak and drain cycle to
loosen and remove heavy soil before starting the cycle selected.
Tangle Control™ (on some models)
Setting this option will adjust your wash cycle to aid in the prevention of tangling. Your cycle time may increase when this
option is selected. NOTE: This option is not allowed for some cycles.
Warm Rinse (on some models)
Provides a warm rinse to your wash load. Note that rinsing operations may be different with this operation selected in order
to effectively apply the warm rinse water to your load.
Auto 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 scroll through 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour and 2 hour selections
and then return back to 0 soak minutes.
Deep Rinse
Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. It may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a
higher setting) to maximize performance.
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.
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.
Smarter Wash Technology (on some models)
The Auto setting balances wash performance, fabric care, and cycle time for normally-soiled or lightly-soiled loads.
Gentle Care reduces agitation time and adds a series of soaks to reduce fabric wear/fading while still providing great wash
performance on garments needing special care.
Use Power Clean to add heavy agitation and soaking to boost wash performance for loads needing a deep clean.
Additional Options
I
My Cycle Settings
As the cycle selector knob is turned, the Temp, Soil and Spin settings change to automatic pre-set default settings for each
cycle. If you desire different default settings, select the desired options or changes to the cycle settings, then press and hold
the My Cycle button for 3 seconds to store them. The My Cycle button will light when active. In the future, when you
turn the selector knob to that cycle, your settings will be automatically recalled. To restore the factory defaults temporarily
(i.e. for this load), press the My Cycle button for 1/2 second. The My Cycle light will turn off and the factory defaults will
load. However, the next time you select this cycle, your My Cycle settings will load. If you wish to permanently restore the
factory default settings for the cycle; when the My Cycle is active (button light on) press and hold the My Cycle button for 3
seconds. The factory defaults will load for the selected cycle and the My Cycle light will turn off. The default settings will load
when this cycle is selected in the future and the My Cycle light will remain off. NOTE: My Cycle saves the following options:
Temp, Soil, Spin, Extra Rinse, Deep Fill, Warm Rinse, Auto Soak, Deep Rinse, Tangle Control, Auto, Power Clean,
Gentle Care and Stain Removal Guide.
Sound (on some models)
Use the Volume button to change the volume of the end of cycle signal and other system tones. Press the button until you reach
the desired volume (high, medium, low) or off.
Control Lock
Use the control lock before or during a cycle to prevent any selections from being made.
To lock/unlock the washer controls, depending on model, press and hold either the Warm Rinse and Auto Soak buttons for 3
seconds or the Rinse and Spin buttons for 3 seconds. The control lock icon will light up when it is on.
NOTE: The Power button can still be used when the machine is locked.
