2.To continue the cycle, close the door and select and hold START (for approximately 1 second).

The Done status light stays on for 60 minutes after the cycle is complete, and then the washer shuts off.

Controls Lock/Unlock

The Controls Lock avoids unintended use of the washer. You can also use the control lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle. When Controls Lock is lit, all buttons are disabled except for Pause/Cancel and Start. You can lock the controls while the washer is operating.

Press and hold CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK for 3 seconds.

The status light next to the CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK button will glow.

Door Locked

When the status light glows, the door is locked.

Sensing/Revising Estimated Time

The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load.

The washer will automatically sense the progress in the cycle and adjust the Estimated Time Remaining display. While the washer is sensing, the estimated time will flash and the Sensing status light will glow. When the sensing is complete, the flashing stops, the status light goes off and the Estimated Time Remaining display is updated.

The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. The SUD routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. See “Troubleshooting.” During the unbalance routine the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.

Cycles

Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle Control knob to the desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels. The modifier indicator lights, on the right-hand side of the panel, will change as cycles are selected.

■Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (estimated cycle time), Water Temperature and Spin Speed, and may have preset options. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle.

■The preset settings will glow green to show the preselected options and modifiers, and be changed anytime before START is pressed. Not all options and modifiers are available with all cycles. Available selections glow amber. (To change settings after the cycle has started, press PAUSE/CANCEL once, then select the desired settings. Press START to continue the cycle.)

■Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent in slow-speed cycles.
