CYCLE GUIDE

LID LOCK

To allow for proper load sensing, 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.

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
