EST TIME REMAINING DISPLAY

The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time
required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size
and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display.
Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may
cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

The Cycle Status Lights shows the progress of a cycle. At
each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses
that are different from traditional washers.
SENSING
When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make
a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before
locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer
will slowly spin the dry load to estimate the load size and
amount of water needed, and begin adding water. The
washer will then move the load briefly, pause to allow
water to soak in to the load, and resume adding water.
This process may repeat until the correct amount of
water has been added for the load. You may also hear
water flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent
to the load.
NOTE: The sensing light may also come on during the
Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
SOAK
This portion of the cycle allows water to soak into the load
for optimal cleaning.

WASH
You will hear the washplate moving the load. Unlike traditional
washers, the load is not covered with water. Low-water
cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting
detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer
delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The motor sounds
may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is
determined by the selected soil level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. Fabric softener will be added if
the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use
spray rinsing.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCK
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning, the lid
will lock and the Lid Lock light will turn on. This light
indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press
START/Pause/Unlock. The lid will unlock
once the washer movement has stopped.
This may take several minutes if the load
was spinning at high speed. Press
START/Pause/Unlock again to resume
the cycle.
