options
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; for example, Oxi treat 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.
Oxi Treat
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need pretreatment. Selecting this option will
ensure these products dispense during the wash cycle at the proper time for improving your
wash performance.
NOTES:
•
Add oxygen-based stain fighter or color-safe bleach to the Oxi/color-safe bleach
compartment in the dispenser drawer.
•
Use powdered detergent when using Oxi treat.
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.
Signal On/Off
Use this option to turn the buzzer indicating the end of the cycle on or off. Press and hold the
Fresh Hold button for 3 seconds to change.
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 I 0 hours to help freshen your clothes. [)uring this time, the "[)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 anytime to unload your laundry.
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.
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.

illuminates.
Wash/Rinse 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.
