Adjust settings.
• Default settings for the selected cycle can
be changed, if desired, using the cycle
modifier and option buttons.
• Not all modifiers and options are available
on all cycles. A different chime sounds and
the LED does not light up if the selection is
not allowed.
6
Begin cycle.
• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the
cycle. The door locks, and the washer
agitates briefly without water to measure
the weight of the load.
• If the Start/Pause button is not pressed
within a certain time, the washer shuts off
and all settings are lost.
7
End of cycle.
• When the cycle is finished, a melody
sounds. Immediately remove the clothing
from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
• Check around the door seal when removing
the load for small items that may be caught
in the seal.
NOTE
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that
allows it to use less water while still fully
saturating the clothing. It is normal to be unable
to see water during the wash cycle.
