If the Touch

dark, press
POWER or
the Touch
Screen to
access the
wash cycles
menu.
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top
row of holes in the washer tub. Overloading
may reduce washer efficiency and possibly

color.

type.
• Press SPECIAL CYCLES to wash non-garment
items, or to select a rinse and spin or spin-
only cycle.
• Press STAIN INSPECTOR to wash items with
specific types of stains.
After selecting a wash method, use the Touch
Screen to select a specific wash cycle to match
your load.

desired, by pressing the Touch Screen
and following the on-screen instructions.
