OPTION BUTTONS

Your washing machine features several additional cycle
options that customize cycles to meet your individual needs.
1
Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to
select the desired cycle. If the cycle selection is changed
after the options have been selected, all settings will be
changed to the default settings for the new cycle.
2
Use the cycle modifier buttons to adjust the settings for
that cycle.
3
Press the cycle option button(s) for the option(s) you
would like to add. The button will light when that option
is selected. If the selected option is not allowed for the
selected cycle, the chime will sound twice to inform alert
you and the LED will not illuminate.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. After a
4
brief delay, the lid will lock and the cycle will begin.
NOTE:
• To protect your garments, not every option is available with
every cycle.
• If the START/PAUSE button is not pressed within four minutes
to start the cycle, the control will shut off and all settings will be
lost.
STAIN TREAT
Use this option to wash loads with

Stain Treat

multiple types of soils. With this option,
the water temperature is raised in
three steps to optimize cleaning performance. During
the final wash step, the water is heated and maintained
at the highest temperature for that cycle for 10 minutes.
NOTE: Best results are obtained with smaller loads (less
than 6 lbs.)
SAVE ENERGY
This option saves energy by using cooler
water while increasing the wash and rinse
times to maintain wash performance.
This feature is only available with the NORMAL/CASUAL
and HEAVY DUTY cycles as listed below.
• NORMAL/CASUAL Hot becomes Cold
• NORMAL/CASUAL Cold becomes Tap Cold
• HEAVY DUTY Hot becomes Cold
EXTRA RINSE
This option will add an extra rinse to the
selected cycle. Use this option to help
ensure the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from fabrics. Liquid fabric softener, if used,
is always dispensed in the final rinse.
NOTE: You cannot select the EXTRA RINSE option with
the DRAIN & SPIN cycle.
WATER PLUS
Press and hold the EXTRA RINSE
button for 3 seconds to activate
WATER PLUS. Use this option if you
wish to add more water to your wash load.
ADD A GARMENT
The ADD A GARMENT light will illuminate during
the early stage of the wash cycle to
indicate that it is safe to pause the
cycle to add more items. Do not press
the button, as the light is controlled by the washer.
Pressing the ADD A GARMENT button will only change
the chime setting.
Once the ADD A GARMENT light goes out, additional
laundry should not be added to the load. Doing so may
result in unsatisfactory performance because the washer
will not compensate for the additional garments.
Do not press the ADD A GARMENT button. Press the

START/PAUSE button to pause the washer.
Open the lid after it unlocks.

Add your additional items.
3

after the lid locks.

CHIME

The volume of the chime is adjusted
using the ADD A GARMENT button. Do
not press the button to add garments
to a wash load. Press repeatedly to adjust the volume of
the chime. The chime will sound at the new volume with
each press of the button. When no chime is heard, the
chime is off. The volume settings are LOW – HIGH – OFF.
The chime volume can be adjusted at any time as long as
the washer is turned ON.
