HOW TO USE
ADD GARMENTS
Use this function to add garments or
remove foreign objects like coins or
keys after the cycle has started.
1
Press ADD GARMENTS. The cycle pauses and the
door unlocks.
2
Open the door, add garments or remove foreign
objects, and close the door.
3
Press START/PAUSE to restart the cycle. The cycle
continues automatically.
NOTE:
• After checking the water level/temperature conditions
for safety, the door unlocks once the wash movement
has stopped. (Door Lock LED turns off.)
- This may take several seconds depending on the
water level. When a lot of water is in the tub, the
door unlocks after water drains to a safe level.
- If the temperature in the tub is higher than 113°F
(45°C), a short warning chime sounds and ADD
GARMENTS is NOT allowed for safety.
• ADD GARMENTS is disabled during the CLEAN
WASHER cycle for safety.
• To preserve wash performance, wash time may be
extended depending on when garments are added to
a cycle.
WARNING:
• Be careful when opening the door as wet laundry may
drip or fall out when the door is opened.
• Do not attempt to force the door to open when locked.
Doing so could result in damage to the machine,
malfunction, or personal injury.
• Make sure the area around the door seal is clear
before closing the door. If laundry gets caught between
the door and the seal, it can damage the rubber
gasket and may result in leaking.
DELAY START
Once you have selected the cycle
and other settings, press this button
to delay the start of the wash cycle.
Each press of the button increases the delay time by one
hour, for up to 19 hours. Once the desired delay time is
set, press the START/PAUSE button to start the delay
time.
STAY FRESH
This feature helps keep wrinkles from
setting in clothes and helps keep
them fresh if they are not removed
from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete. Press
and hold the CLEAN WASHER button for three seconds
to tumble the clothes intermittently and circulate fresh air
through the drum for up to eight hours. Press the POWER
button or the START/PAUSE button to remove clothes at
any time.
