CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES (continued)
SOAK
This portion of the cycle allows water to soak
into the load for optimal cleaning.
WASH
You will hear the impeller 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 cy-
cle as the washer rinses and moves the load.
Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric
Softener option was selected.
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
This light indicates that the lid is locked and
cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press START/
PAUSE. 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 again to
restart the cycle.
