CYCLE SIGNAL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle. You may select Loud, Soft, or OFF (no
indicator lit). A louder signal is helpful in removing items
as soon as cycle is complete.
To turn button sounds on or off:
Press and hold Cycle Signal for 3 seconds to turn the
button sounds off or on.
4 EST TIME REMAINING DISPLAY
The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
The Cycle Status Lights shows the progress of a cycle. At
each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses
that are different from traditional washers.
SENSING
When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make
a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before
locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer
will slowly spin the dry load to estimate the load size and
amount of water needed, and begin adding water. The
washer will then move the load briefly, pause to allow
water to soak in to the load, and resume adding water.
This process may repeat until the correct amount of
water has been added for the load. You may also hear
water flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent
to the load.
NOTE: The sensing light may also come on during the
Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
SOAK
This portion of the cycle allows water to soak into the load
for optimal cleaning.
WASH
You will hear the washplate moving the load. Unlike
traditional washers, the load is not covered with water.
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning.
Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style
washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the
soils. The motor sounds may change at different stages
in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected
soil level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. Fabric softener will be added if the
Fabric Softener option was selected.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCK
To allow for proper load sensing, the lid will lock and the
Lid Lock light will turn on. This light indicates that the lid
is locked and cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press
START/Pause/Unlock. The lid will unlock
once the washer movement has stopped.
This may take several minutes if the load
was spinning at high speed. Press
START/Pause/Unlock again to resume
the cycle.
