To unlock the controls Select and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds until the Control Lock status light turns off. Door Locked When the status light illuminates, the door is locked. Estimated time remaining The cycle time varies automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. The SUDs routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your clothes. During the unbalance routine, the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the cycle. These routines may add up to a half-hour to the default cycle time. Status Indicator This indicator shows which portion of the cycle the washer is operating and the estimated time remaining. It also indicates when you can add an additional item to the wash cycle and when the controls are locked. 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. Adding items This washer allows an 8-minute period in which other garments may be added to the load. You can add items to the washer if the status indicator shows Add Clothes. To add items 1. Select START/PAUSE once. The washer door unlocks, and items can be added. 2. To continue the cycle, close the door and select START/PAUSE (for approximately 1 second). 3. To unlock the door after the Add Clothes period, press POWER/CANCEL twice. This will cancel the Wash Cycle. „ Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (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 can be changed anytime before START is pressed. Not all options and modifiers are available with all cycles. (To change settings after the cycle has started, press PAUSE once, then select the desired settings. Press START again to continue the cycle.) „ Cycle done The cycle done indicator stays on for 60 minutes, until the door of the washer is opened, or the Power/Cancel button is pressed. Whitest Whites This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines high-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and fast-speed spin to shorten drying time. Locking controls The Control 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 Control Lock light is lit during a cycle, all buttons are disabled except for the Control Lock, Power/Cancel, and Start/Pause buttons. To lock the controls Select and hold CONTROL LOCK button for 3 seconds. Heavy Duty Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum temperature. Normal/Casual The CONTROL LOCK status light illuminates. Use this cycle to wash normally soiled cottons and linens.
