HOW TO USE

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

CONTROL LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls.
The washer can only be locked during
a cycle. This feature can prevent
children from changing cycles or
operating the machine. Once set, the controls remain locked
and must be turned OFF before the controls can be used
again. 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, the Control Lock
LED will illuminate and "CL" will display alternately with the
estimated time remaining.
To activate the control lock, press and hold the
EXTRA RINSE button for five seconds.
CLEAN WASHER
Detergent residue can build up in the
wash drum over time and can lead to a
mildewy or musty smell. The Clean
Washer cycle is specially designed to
remove this buildup using bleach or another cleaner designed
specifically for cleaning front load washers. Run the Clean
Washer cycle once a month, or more often under heavy use
conditions or if odor is present. See complete instructions in the
CARE AND CLEANING section.

NOTE: For other drum cleaning products, follow
the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and

add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of
the dispenser drawer. Place tablet cleaners directly
into the drum.
