Status Lights; Cycles - Whirlpool Duet Steam FRONT-LOADING AUTOMATIC WASHER Use & Care Manual

Status Lights

These lights show which portion of the cycle the washer is operating.
They also indicate when you can add an additional item to the wash
cycle and when the controls are locked.
Add a garment
This washer allows an 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.
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. You can
also use the control lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option
changes during a cycle. When Controls Lock is lit, all buttons are
disabled except for Pause/Cancel and Start. You can lock the
controls while the washer is operating.
14
To lock the controls
Press and hold CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK for 3 seconds after the
cycle starts, or when the washer is turned off.
The status light next to the CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK button will
glow.
To unlock the controls
Press and hold CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK for 3 seconds until the
status light turns off.
NOTE: To lock or unlock the controls when the washer is off, press
and hold CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK for 3 seconds.
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 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.
■ Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (estimated cycle time), Water
Temperature, and Spin Speed, and may have preset options.
The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle.
