Adding items
You can add items to the washer after the wash
cycle has started, if the ADD A GARMENT status
light is illuminated. All cycles have this feature
except Rinse/Spin and Drain/Spin.
To add items
1. Select PAUSE/CANCEL. The washer door
unlocks, and items can be added.
2. To continue the cycle, close the door and
select and hold START (for approximately
1 second).
3. To unlock the door after the Add a Garment
period, press PAUSE/CANCEL twice. This
will cancel the Wash Cycle.
Cycle Complete
The Cycle Complete light stays on for 5 min-
utes after the cycle is complete. The washer
will then power down.
Locking controls
The Control Lock avoids unintended use of
the washer. You can also use the control lock
feature to avoid unintended cycle or option
changes during a cycle. When CONTROL
LOCKED is lit, all buttons are disabled except
for PAUSE/CANCEL and START. You can lock
the controls while the washer is operating.
To lock the controls
Select and hold END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for
3 seconds. The CONTROL LOCKED status
light illuminates.
To unlock the controls
Select and hold END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for 3
seconds until the CONTROL LOCKED Status
light turns off.
Estimated Time Remaining
The cycle times vary automatically based on
your water pressure, water temperature, deter-
gent, and clothes load. The cycle time will be
extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is
unbalanced. The SUDs routine removes extra
suds and assures proper rinsing of your gar-
ments. The options you select will also affect
the cycle times that are shown in the Preset
Cycle Settings table. The Estimated Time Re-
maining can change up to 30 minutes under
extreme conditions.
Door Locked
When the status light illuminates, the door
is locked. The door is locked and unlocked
automatically, depending on the stage of the
wash cycle.
CYCLES
Wash Cycles
Choose Wash Cycles by rotating the Cycle se-
lector knob to the desired cycle. The indicator
light for the cycle selected will illuminate. Each
cycle is designed for different types of fabric
and soil levels.
• Each cycle has a preset cycle time, WASH
TEMP, SPIN SPEED, and may have preset
Options. The preset settings provide the
recommended fabric care for the selected
cycle.
• The preset settings can be changed anytime
before START is selected. Not all Options and
Modifiers (WASH TEMP, SPIN SPEED) are
available with all Cycles. To change settings
after the cycle has started, select PAUSE/
CANCEL, then select the desired settings.
Select and hold START (for approximately
1 second) to continue the cycle.
