See the "l.aundry 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; for example, Steam Clean cannot be added to the Quick Wash cycle.
If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will illuminate
when selected.
If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a short tone, and the light
for that option will not illuminate when selected.
Fresh Hold
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, "l)one" indicator remains
activated, the door remains locked, and the Fresh Hold indicator light will flash. The Fresh
Hold option will automatically stop and the door lock will be released after this time expires,
or if you press cancel at any time to unload your laundry.
Signal On/Off
Use this option to turn the buzzer indicating the end of the cycle on or off. To change, press
and hold the Fresh Hold button for three seconds.
Quiet Option
With this option, the washer will sense vibration in the wash cycle and may adjust the spin
speed to lower sound levels generated during the spin.
Preset cycle settings of Soil I.evel (cycle time), Wash Temperature, and Spin Speed can be
changed. You can change these settings by using modifiers. Modifiers can be changed before
or during the cycle until that part of the cycle starts. Not all modifiers are available with all
cycles and options.

To change Soil I.evel (cycle time), select the SOIl. I.EVEI. button until the desired setting
illuminates.
To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the desired setting
illuminates.
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button until the desired setting
illuminates.
Water Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash
water safe for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier than cold rinses. Warm rinses increase wrinkling. In cold
climates, a warm rinse makes the load more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
• Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification
organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification
verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding,
and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.

Steam Clean
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment or loads with
multiple types of stains. When Steam 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, along with steam, to aid in stain removal. This option will provide
optimal removal of organic stains such as blood and temperature-sensitive stains such as oil,
in the same cycle. This option is available on the following cycles: Normal/Casual, Heavy
Duty, Whitest Whites, and Power Wash.
Extra Rinse
A second rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or bleach residue from
garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the
normal rinse. This is the default rinse setting for the Whitest Whites cycle.
Certified to Sanitize
• The Sanitize water temperature provides an extra high temperature wash to remove
99.9% of certain bacteria. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to
120°t: (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
• The Sanitize water temperature is extremely hot. Please check garment care labels to
avoid garment damage.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well.
Soils may be difficult to remove. Only cycles with sanitize wash temperature selected
have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P1 72 for Sanitizing
Efficacy.
