cycles. Allow the cycle to continue. Some cycles feature
periods of tumbling and soak.

firmly closed.

items is only allowed up to a certain point in the cycle.
Do not add more water to the washer/dryer.
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can
slow or stop the washer/dryer. Always measure detergent,
following manufacturer's directions based on your load
requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select Rinse & Spin. Touch the
START/PAUSE button. Do not add more detergent.
Make sure the door is closed. Touch the START/PAUSE
button to continue with the program/cycle.

and securely attach to drain pipe or tub. Do not tape over
drain opening.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 49" (1.3 m) above
the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose. See "Installation
Requirements" in the Installation Instructions.
Remove strainer/stocking from drain hose.
The drain hose should be loose, yet fit securely. Do not
seal the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap.
