Once you touch and hold START, you will hear the door lock, unlock, and lock again. The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle. Unlocking the door to add garments: If you need to open the door to add 1 or 2 missed garments, you may do so while the "Add Garment" light is lit. The time allowed to add a garment will vary based on cycle selection and load size. Touch START once; the door will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes. Then close the door and touch and hold START again to restart the cycle. Adding items after "Add Garment" light is off: Cancel current cycle. Water will drain and you will need to reselect cycle and restart. For wash performance and optimal energy savings, add garments only when the "Add Garment" light is on. Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to avoid odor and rusting of metal objects on garments. When unloading garments, pull back the door seal and check for small items between the tub and the washer drum. If you will be unable to remove the load promptly, use the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option. If the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option is selected, the washer will automatically activate the fan and tumble the load periodically for up to 16 hours. To turn off the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option, touch POWER. To set the washer so that the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option does not come on for future cycles, touch FRESH HOLD. NOTES: ■ The door will remain locked while the Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER. ■ A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers after the wash cycle is complete. This is normal. ■ This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks. To avoid odors, leave the door open to allow the washer to dry between uses. 38
