Delay/Resume can delay or interrupt any wash cycle from 1

cycle and options for the load. Then, quickly press and hold
the Delay/Resume pad until the desired amount of delay
time appears in the display. The clock will count down and
the cycle will automatically start as soon as the delay time

This pad can also be pressed to temporarily interrupt a cycle. The
cycle will resume from the point of interruption when the delay
time runs out or when the Delay/Resume pad is pressed again.
