You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle

anytime before the selected option begins. Not all options are
available with all cycles. Available options will glow amber.
Current selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with
a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate.
See the Laundry Guide for an overview of possible options
for each Wash Cycle selection.
You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some
