Delay Cycle
Delay Cycle
The DELAY CYCLE button allows the user to put laundry into the
machine, add the appropriate additives (HE detergent, softener, and
bleach,) set the desired cycle and options, and delaying the start
tome for up to 12 hours in 1-hour increments. This option is used to
have the laundry ready to come out of the washer at a certain time,
like when the customer gets home from work or after school, etc.
