Add a garment This washer allows a 4-8 minute period in which other garments may be added to the load. You can add items to the washer if the Add a garment status light is glowing. To add items when Add a garment light is glowing 1. Select PAUSE/CANCEL once. The washer door unlocks after a few seconds, and items can be added. 2. To continue the cycle, close the door and select and hold START (for approximately 1 second). To add items when the Add a garment light is not glowing 1. You must cancel the current cycle by pressing PAUSE/ CANCEL twice. This will cancel the wash cycle and options. The washer door unlocks, and items can be added. 2. Close the door, press POWER, and select the new cycle and options. Select and hold START (for approximately 1 second). Done The Done status light stays on for 60 minutes after the cycle is complete, and then the washer shuts off. Sanitized This washer has a Sanitize water temperature that is certified by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certification organization. The certification verifies that the sanitizing cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels, and there is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete. Door Locked When the status light glows, the door is locked. Sensing/Revising Estimated Time The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The washer will automatically sense the progress in the cycle and adjust the Estimated Time Remaining display. While the washer is sensing, the estimated time will flash and the Sensing status light will glow. When the sensing is complete, the flashing stops, the status light goes off, and the Estimated Time Remaining display is updated. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. The SUD routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. See "Troubleshooting." During the unbalance routine, the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle. Clean Washer Reminder The Clean Washer Reminder light illuminates to remind you to use the Clean Washer cycle regularly. The reminder light will illuminate every 30 cycles. The reminder light may be reset by either running the Clean Washer cycle, or by pressing the CLEAN WASHER RESET button. Cycles Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle Control knob to the desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels. The modifier indicator lights, on the right-hand side of the panel, will change as cycles are selected. Certified to Sanitize If the "Sanitize" wash temperature was selected, when the wash cycle is complete, the DONE status light will illuminate, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer powers down automatically 60 minutes after the cycle is complete and the DONE status light turns off. Controls Lock/Unlock The Controls Lock avoids unintended use of the washer.
