NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with

every cycle. A chime will sound and the LED will not light if the selection is not allowed.

NOTE: The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the amount of laundry, water pressure, water heating time

and other operating conditions.

NOTE: These cycles use various wash motions to enhance cleaning and/or fabric care performance. 

These wash motions may sound different at different stages of the wash cycle. This is normal. 

5-2. CYCLE GUIDE

5-3. CYCLE OPTIONS

Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment. When STAIN TREAT is selected, 
the water temperature for the selected cycle will begin as warm water to help prevent the setting of certain 
types of stains. Then as the cycle progresses, the water will be heated to higher temperatures to help remove 
stains that require treatment at higher temperatures. This option is designed for optimum stain removal.

NOTE: If STAIN TREAT is selected with the SANITIZE cycle, the cycle will begin with very hot water since that 

is default for that cycle and cannot be changed.

Once you have selected the cycle and other settings, press this button to delay the start of the wash cycle. 
Each press of the button increases the delay time by one hour, for up to 19 hours. Once the desired delay time 
is set, press the START/PAUSE button to start the delay time. If the START/PAUSE button is not pressed 
within 4 minutes, the control will shut off and the settings will be lost.

Use the AUTO SOAK option to presoak garments to help remove difficult spots or stains on fabrics. 
This option provides a 30 minute presoak prior to the start of the selected cycle.
1. Add detergent only to the Main wash compartment or Liquid Box of the dispenser drawer.
2. Select desired cycle.
3. Select cycle modifiers
4. Press the START/PAUSE.

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. 

A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the wash tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. 
The CLEAN WASHER cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup using bleach or other cleaner 
designed specifically for cleaning front load washers.
The CLEAN WASHER cycle should be run once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if 
odor is present.

For powdered tub cleaners, add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer. Place 
tablet cleaners directly into the tub. Always follow the cleaner manufacturers instructions and 
Recommendations

Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.

Use this option to disable the controls. The washer can be locked during a cycle. This feature allows you to 
prevent children from changing cycles or operating the machine. Once set, the CONTROL LOCK must be 
turned off before the controls can be used. Once the washer has shut off, the power button will allow the 
machine to be turned on, but the controls will still be locked. When the controls are locked, "CL" will be 
displayed alternately with the estimated time remaining. Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for 
5 seconds to activate or deactivate the controls.

Select this option to store a customized wash cycle for future use.
1. Select a cycle.
2. Press the desired options.
3. Press the desired modifiers.
4. To save the cycle press MY CYCLE for 3 seconds.
5. Press the START/PAUSE.
6. To reuse this cycle at another time, select MY CYCLE and press the START/PAUSE

This feature uses a sensor in the tub to check the hardness of the water and the detergent amount. Wash and 
rinse cycles will be adjusted to optimize wash and rinse performance. 
To use the SMART SENSE feature press and hold 2nd RINSE button for 3 seconds.
    Excessive detergent amount: rinsing cycle increase.
    Insufficient detergent amount: washing time increase.
    A small amount of remaining detergent detected: additional rinsing will be added.

5-4. SPECIAL FUNCTION

5-5. EXPLANATION OF EACH PROCESS

No.

Process

Explanation

1.

Stay

• Electrical power is supplied
• Washer is ready to work and the micom is in the active mode.

2.

Water
supply

• After loading laundry and selecting a course and a cycle, water is

supplied and  drum rotates.

• When a user selects Pre-wash course, water is supplied through 

pre wash valve.

3.

Soaking
& washing
laundry

• To get laundry wet, drum rotates clockwise and counterclockwise.
• If water amount is insufficient at this time, the Inlet valve will supply

water again. 

4.

Heating &
washing

• The heater heats the water in drum to the selected water temperature

and drum rotates for washing. 

5.

~

6.

Washing
& heating
/ washing

• When the water temperature reaches to the selected temperature, the

heating stops and only the drum rotates.

• If water temperature becomes lower than selected because of 

re-supplied water, the heating starts again.

7.

Washing

• Fuzzy Logic decides washing time according to the laundry load, water

temperature, and other factors.

8.

Drainage

• A pump motor drains the water from the drum.
• After sensing drained water amount by water level frequency, spin starts.
• When a heating course is selected, stay cooling process is performed to

decrease the water temperature gradually to prevent laundry from being
damaged and for safety reasons.

9.

Untangling
(Sensing
eccent-
ricity)

• It balances laundry load and senses the eccentricity of the load, to only

allow spinning  without vibration 

• If the eccentricity is worse than the allowed level, it repeats the

disentangling process. When the repeated time is more than allowed
level, it displays UE.

• If the eccentricity is good, the intermittent spin starts.
• During this process, the drain pump works for drainage intermittently.
