30 OPERATION
• Steam may not be clearly visible during the
steam cycles. This is normal. Too much steam
could damage clothing.

wool and silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
WARNING
• Do not touch the door during steam cycles. The
door surface can become very hot and can cause
severe burns. Allow the door lock to release
before opening the door.

mechanism or reach into the washer during a
steam cycle. Steam can cause severe burns.

Using the Pre-wash Option

minutes) for improved cleaning of heavily soiled

detergent directly in the drum, the detergent
may be washed away, reducing the washing
performance. For best results, use Pre-wash
with the ezDispense function.
