HOW TO USE THE TIME AND STATUS DISPLAY The time and status display shows the cycle progress and estimated time remaining, cycle options, and other status messages for your washer. 3 2 41 5 1 ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the washer automatically detects the wash load (weight) and optimizes the washing time, based on the selected cycle and options. The display will then indicate the estimated time remaining for the selected wash cycle. NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear much longer than that of a top-loading washer. The displayed time is for the complete cycle, rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle, as is typically shown on a top-loading washer. 2 CYCLE COMPLETION INDICATOR This portion of the display shows which stage of the wash cycle is currently underway (LOAD SENSING, WASH, RINSE or SPIN). 4 DOOR LOCK INDICATOR Indicates that the door is locked. The washer door will lock while the washer is operating. The door can be unlocked by pressing the START/ PAUSE button to stop the washer. NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too high, the door cannot be unlocked until the washer has cooled. If the water level is too high, select the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain excess water. Do not try to force open the door. 5 DELAY WASH INDICATOR This indicator shows that the washer has been set for DELAY WASH. The washer will start automatically after the set delay time has passed. 3 Automatic LOAD SIZE sensing 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. 20 MFL31245113_ENG.indd 20-21 HOW TO USE OPERATING THE WASHER Once you have loaded the washer and added laundry products (detergent, bleach, and/or fabric softener): 1 Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the washer. The lights around the cycle selector knob will illuminate. 2 Turn the cycle selector knob to the desired cycle. The display will show the preset Rinse/Wash Temperature, Spin Speed, Soil Level, and Option settings for that cycle. 3 If you would like to change the settings for that cycle, press the appropriate cycle settings button(s) until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit. NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. 4 Select any additional cycle options, such as CUSTOM PROGRAM, DELAY WASH, EXTRA RINSE, or STAIN CYCLE, by pressing the button for that option. 5 Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. The door will latch, the display will change, and the washer will calculate the estimated time remaining. Once the washer has calculated the estimated total cycle time, the washer will start. To pause the cycle at any time, press START/PAUSE. NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear much longer than that of a toploading washer. The displayed time is for the complete cycle, rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle, as is typically shown on a top-loading washer. NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too high, the door cannot be unlocked until the washer has cooled. If the water level is too high, select the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain excess water. Do not try to force the door open. Washing time can be reduced significantly for small or lightly soiled loads by selecting the Speed Wash cycle and setting the Soil Level button to Light. 6 When the load is finished, the beeper (if set) will sound and the door will unlock. Remove damp clothes from the washer immediately. Check under the door seal for small items. NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. 21 2007.10.4 2:31:47 PM
