DELAY WASH
Once you have selected the cycle and
other settings, press this button to delay
the start of the wash cycle. Each press
of the button increases the delay time by one hour, for
up to 19 hours. Once the desired delay time is set, press
the START/PAUSE button to start the delay time.
NOTE: If the START/PAUSE button is not pressed to
begin the delay time, the washer will automatically shut
off after four minutes.
DRAIN & SPIN
Use this option to drain the water from
the tub and spin out the clothes. This
can be used, for example, if the wash
cycle is interrupted by a power failure. The spin speed
can be adjusted by pressing the DRAIN & SPIN button.

CONTROL LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls. The
washer can only be locked during a cycle.
This feature can prevent children from
changing cycles or operating the machine. Once the control
lock 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. When the controls are locked,
CL will display alternately with the estimated time remaining.
Press and hold the DRAIN & SPIN button for five seconds to
activate or deactivate CONTROL LOCK.

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 after several minutes.
This helps keep children safe by reducing the possibility of
water remaining in the tub. The washer can be restarted
any time before the drain begins.
If no action is taken, the
water will drain from the tub. 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.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that the washer experiences
a problem that causes an error code to be displayed,
the washer will still drain after several minutes. However,
only the original error code will be displayed.
