START/PAUSE/UNLOCK BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause

the cycle and unlock the lid.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several

minutes to unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds

to cancel a cycle.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle.

At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or

pauses that are different from traditional washers.

FILL

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, and the lid will unlock

briefly before locking again. The washer will use spins

to check for load balance. These spins may take several

minutes before water is added to the washer. You may

hear the hum of the spins before filling. This is normal.

WASH

You will hear the agitator moving the load. 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. You may hear the

motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket

while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric

Softener Added-Yes option was selected.

Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and

spinning out wash water, the washer will continue to

spin and spray in rinse water for the entire rinse time.

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 LOCKED

To allow for higher spin speeds, the

lid will lock and the Lid Locked light

will turn on. When this light is lit, the

lid is locked and cannot be opened.

When this light is blinking, the washer

is paused. When this light is off, the lid

can 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.
