and goes out when the cycle is completed.
The WASH light is illuminated during all rinse and wash
portions of the cycle
The HEATING DELAY light illuminates when the cycle
is being extended to heat the water to proper temperature.

start the cycle at a later time, such as during off-peak
hours for reduced energy cost or to reduce daytime heat
buildup in the home.

desired amount of delay time (2, 4 or 6 hours) is
selected. The delay time will begin counting down
when the pad is released.

until the delay time has counted down.

by turning the heating element on during dry. When
Heated Dry is canceled, towel drying of some items

coming out of the vent area.

again. The indicator light will go out and the cycle will
