CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES 1 2 3 5 6 4 1 CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers. The Sensing status light comes on as the washer automatically weighs items, then adjusts the Estimated Time Remaining, based on the cycle selected. When the Door Locked LED light illuminates, the door is locked. The door is locked and unlocked automatically, depending on the stage of the wash cycle. Press and hold CANCEL/DRAIN for 3 seconds to unlock the door manually. It will take approximately 1 minute for the door to unlock. When the door is unlocked, the Draining/Unlocking light illuminates. The Prewash, Wash, Rinse, and Spin lights each come on as the washer progresses through each cycle. The Done status light stays on for 1 hour after the cycle is complete. To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, switch knob to the Off position. 2 CANCEL/DRAIN BUTTON Press to turn the washer on and off. Press to stop/cancel a cycle at any time. 3 ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. The oversuds routine removes extra suds and ensures proper rinsing of your garments. The options you select will also affect the cycle times that are shown in the "Cycle Guide." The Estimated Time Remaining can change to much longer times under extreme conditions. 4 OPTIONS You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle selections. Not all options are available with all cycles. n If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will illuminate when selected. n If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a blinking light. The light for that option will not illuminate when selected. Delay Start Use this to begin the wash cycle later. n Select DELAY START until the desired time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display. n Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window. Prewash Prewash is an 18-minute soak phase that is added before the main wash. During prewash, there is only a small amount of tumbling. 2nd Rinse A second rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as in the normal rinse. You may select or deselect by pressing 2ND RINSE. Wrinkle Prevent Use this option to increase the quantity of incoming water and decrease the spin speed and duration in the rinse period. The last spin phase will have a lower spin speed and last a shorter time. Max Extract Use this option to increase the final spin period by 1 minute during the final spin. Low Spin Each cycle has a preset spin speed. To reduce the final spin speed, press the LOW SPIN button. Temp Level Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To change the water temperature, press the TEMP LEVEL button until the desired setting is illuminated. Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow garment label instructions. The water temperature for all rinse cycles is cold. Cold rinses save energy. 5 START BUTTON Press and hold to start a cycle, or press once while a cycle is in process to pause it. 6 WASH CYCLE KNOB Turn the Wash Cycle knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
