OTHER OPTIONS
ADD A GARMENT
"Press PAUSE to add a garment?" will appear
on the display screen during the early stage of
the wash cycle to indicate that it is safe to add
more items. Touch the PAUSE button to pause
the cycle, and add garments once the lid has unlocked.
Touch the START button to resume the cycle.
Once "Press PAUSE to add a garment?" is no longer
visible, additional laundry should not be added to the
load. Doing so may result in unsatisfactory performance
because the washer will not compensate for the
additional garments.
If the START button is not pressed within three minutes
to restart the cycle, a warning message will display. The
screen will dim at four minutes, and the control will shut
off one minute later if no icons are touched. All settings
will be lost.
CONTROL LOCKOUT
........Touch and hold the Control Lockout icon for five
seconds to activate or deactivate the Control
........................ Lockout. This feature can prevent children from
changing cycles or operating the machine.
Once the control lockout is set, it must be deactivated
before any controls, except the power button, can be
used. Once the washer has shut off, the power button
will allow the machine to be turned ON, but the controls
will still be locked.
SPECIAL DRAIN FEATURE
This washer is equipped with a special feature that is
designed to make your washer as safe as possible, if
the washer is paused or shut off while there is still water
in the tub, the water will drain automatically. This helps
keep children safe by eliminating standing water in the
tub.
if the washer is shut off while there is still water in the
tub, the water will drain after three minutes. The washer
can be restarted any time before the drain begins, if the
washer is paused and the screen is idle for four minutes,
the display will dim, and one minute later, the remaining
water will drain and all cycle settings will be lost.
Once the washer begins draining the water, the
controls are disabled and the drain process cannot be
interrupted. Once the water is completely drained, the
washer will shut off and can be restarted.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that the washer experiences
a problem that causes an error code to be displayed,
the washer will still sound an alarm after three minutes
and drain after four minutes. However, only the original
error code will be displayed.
