TUB CLEAN

A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the

a mildewy or musty smell. The TUB

CLEAN cycle is specially designed to

remove this buildup. Press and hold

the EXTRA RINSE button for 3 seconds to activate

this cycle. The display will show a message to add

liquid bleach to the dispenser. After the cycle has

ended, open the door and allow the drum interior

to dry completely.

and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.

CHILD LOCK

Use this option to prevent unwanted use of the

washer or to keep cycle settings

from being changed while the washer

is operating. Press and hold the

PREWASH button for 3 seconds to

activate or deactivate CHILD LOCK.
The lock icon will be shown in the display, and all

controls are disabled. The washer can be locked

during a cycle. Once CHILD LOCK is selected, the

display will alternate between CL and the

time remaining.

LOAD SIZE

At the beginning of the cycle, the washer tumbles

the load and detects the weight of the

clothes. The display will indicate the

approximate load size in the LOAD SIZE

display. This allows you to adjust the

amount of detergent and other additives for best

results and improved efficiency. See page 23 for

details.

EXTRA RINSE

This option will add an extra rinse

cycle to the selected cycle. Use this

option to help ensure the removal

of detergent or bleach residue from

fabrics.

STAIN CYCLE

Select this option for heavily stained

clothes, such as play clothes or work

clothes. Stain Cycle will add extra

wash time to the selected cycle, as

well as an additional rinse cycle.

WATER PLUS

Select this option to add extra water

to the wash and rinse cycles for

superior results, especially with large

or bulky items.

RINSE+SPIN

Select this option to rinse and spin a

load separately from a regular cycle.

This can be helpful in preventing fresh

stains from setting in fabrics.

To activate the Rinse+Spin cycle:

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on

the washer.

Press the RINSE+SPIN button.
