WASH CYCLES AND OPTIONS 5

LID LOCK

If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock and the cycle will be halted.The machine will beep and the lid lock light will flash until the lid is closed and the START/PAUSE button is pressed.

Your Ecosmart has a lid lock.This ensures the lid cannot be opened during hazardous parts of the cycle, providing added safety for you and your family.

The lid lock light (above the start/pause button) comes on when the lid is locked to tell you when you cannot open the lid.

If the lid lock light is flashing the lid lock is in the process of locking or unlocking (i.e. while the machine coasts down or start/pause has been pressed). During this stage the lid still cannot be lifted.

Keep children away from the machine during the fill and agitate stage of the cycle, especially when using hot water, as the lid can be opened and the machine will not stop.

DO NOT put anything down the slot in the top deck of your machine.

DO NOT try to disable the lid lock.

THE WASH PROGRESS LIGHTS

The wash progress lights show all the tasks your Ecosmart will complete during the wash cycle. As each task is completed a light goes out, so you can tell at a glance how far the cycle has to go.

1.Select the wash cycle.

2.Press ADVANCE repeatedly until only the right number of lights remain on.

3.Press START/PAUSE.

Note: The wash consists of two parts. The first amber light is essential for all washes except Permanent Press, therefore, you can only advance through the green lights, not the amber.
