OPTION BUTTONS
CLEAN WASHER
Some environmental and usage conditions
can cause a residue to build up in the tub
over time and can lead to a mildewy or
musty smell. The CLEAN WASHER cycle is specially de-
signed 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 in-
structions in the CARE AND CLEANING section on page 23.
1
Press the CLEAN WASHER button.
2
Fill the bleach dispenser to the MAX line with liquid
chlorine bleach. Do not overfill the bleach dispenser.
Overfilling will cause the bleach to dispense immediately.
NOTE: For other tub clearing products, follow
the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations. For powdered cleaning products,
add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of
the dispenser drawer. Place tablet cleaners directly
into the tub.
3
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
After the cycle ends, open the lid and allow the tub
4
interior to dry completely.
NOTE: Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do
NOT add detergent or fabric softener.
FABRIC SOFTENER
Fabric softener is dispensed in the
final rinse. This washer is designed to
save rinse water by using a jet spray
rinse system (SMARTRINSE) in NORMAL/CASUAL and
HEAVY DUTY cycles. Press the FABRIC SOFTENER
button to change the final rinse from spray rinse to
regular rinse so that the fabric softener is most effective.
NOTE: The NORMAL/CASUAL cycle and the HEAVY
DUTY cycle use SMARTRINSE to save water. If liquid
fabric softener is to be used with either of these cycles,
then the FABRIC SOFTENER option or the EXTRA RINSE
option must be selected. Either option will cause the
cycle to end with a regular rinse instead of the spray
rinse used by SMARTRINSE. Although the softener will
still be dispensed without selecting FABRIC SOFTENER
or EXTRA RINSE during a spray rinse, failure to
select either option will result in poor fabric softener
performance.
MY CYCLE
MY CYCLE allows you to store a
customized wash cycle for future use. It
allows you to save favorite temperature,
spin speed, soil level, and other options for a cycle, and then
recall them at the touch of a button.
NOTE: You can only save one cycle at a time. Pressing
and holding the MY CYCLE button will overwrite any pre-
viously saved cycle.
To save a MY CYCLE:
1
Press the POWER button to turn on the washer.
2
Turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.
3
Press the CYCLE MODIFIER button to change the desired setting.
4
Press the CYCLE OPTION button to add the desired options.
5
Press and hold the MY CYCLE button.
To recall a MY CYCLE:
1
Press the POWER button to turn on the washer.
2 Press the MY CYCLE button. The stored settings will be
displayed.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
3
NOTE: MY CYCLE can be adjusted the same as any
other cycle. However, once any other button is pressed,
the MY CYCLE button LED will turn off indicating that
the settings are no longer those of your saved cycle.

SOAK

This option provides a 30 minute
presoak prior to the start of the select-
ed cycle. Use the SOAK option to
presoak garments to help remove difficult spots or stains
on fabrics. At the end of the presoak time, the selected
cycle will begin with the same water used for the soak.
