SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

CONTROL LOCK

Use this option to disable the controls. The
washer can be locked during a cycle. This
feature allows you to prevent children from
changing cycles or operating the machine.
Once set, the CONTROL LOCK must be
turned OFF before the controls 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. When

Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for 5 seconds
to activate or deactivate the controls.

CLEAN WASHER

A buildup of detergent residue can occur in
the wash tub over time and can lead to a
mildewy or musty smell. The CLEAN

The CLEAN WASHER cycle should be run once a month, or
more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is present.
