Status Lights

These lights show which portion of the cycle the washer is
operating. They also indicate when you can add an additional
item to the wash cycle and when the controls are locked.
Adding items
This washer allows an 8-minute period in which forgotten
garments may be added to the load. You can add items to the
washer if the ADD A GARMENT status light is glowing.
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 HOLD TO
START (for approximately 1 second).
3. To unlock the door after the Add a Garment period, press

Cycle Complete
The cycle complete light stays on for 5 minutes after the cycle is
complete, and then the washer shuts off.
Locking controls
The Control Lock prevents unintended use of the washer. You
can also use the control lock feature to prevent 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.

The CONTROL LOCKED status light glows.
To unlock the controls

CONTROL LOCKED Status light turns off.
Door Locked

Estimated time remaining
The cycle time varies automatically based on your water
pressure, water temperature, detergent 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 garments. During the unbalance routine the
time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then
resume with the cycle. Estimated time remaining may add up to a
half-hour to the default cycle time.
Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle control knob to the
desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric
and soil levels.
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water
Temperature and Spin Speed, and may have preset options.
The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for
the selected cycle.
