H O W TO U S E
THE TIME AND STATUS DISPLAY
The time and status display shows the cycle progress and estimated time remaining, cycle
options, and other status messages for your washer.
1
ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING
When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the
washer automatically detects the wash load
(weight) and optimizes the washing time, based
on the selected cycle and options. The display
will then indicate the estimated time remaining
for the selected wash cycle.
NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear
much longer than that of a top-loading washer.
The displayed time is for the complete cycle,
rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle,
as is typically shown on a top-loading washer.
2
CYCLE COMPLETION INDICATOR
This portion of the display shows which stage
of the wash cycle is currently underway (LOAD
SENSING, WASH, RINSE or SPIN).
3
AUTOMATIC LOAD SIZE SENSING
At the beginning of the cycle, the washer tumbles
the load and detects the weight of the clothes.
The display will indicate the approximate load
size in the LOAD SIZE display. This allows you
to adjust the amount of detergent and other
additives for best results and improved efficiency.

DOOR LOCk INDICATOR
Indicates that the door is locked. The washer
door will lock while the washer is operating. The
door can be unlocked by pressing the START/
PAUSE button to stop the washer.
NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too
high, the door cannot be unlocked until the
washer has cooled. If the water level is too high,
select the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain excess
water. Do not try to force open the door.
5
DELAY WASH INDICATOR
This indicator shows that the washer has been
set for DELAY WASH. The washer will start
automatically after the set delay time
has passed.
OPERATING THE WASHER
Once you have loaded the washer and added
laundry products (detergent, bleach, and/or
fabric softener):
1
Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the
washer. The lights around the cycle
selector knob will illuminate.
2
Turn the cycle selector knob to the desired
cycle. The display will show the
preset Rinse/Wash Temperature,
Spin Speed, Soil Level, and
Option settings for that cycle.
3
If you would like to change the settings
for that cycle, press the appropriate cycle
settings button(s) until the indicator light for
the desired setting is lit.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every
wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil
level, or option is available with every cycle.
4
Select any additional cycle options, such
as CUSTOM PROGRAM, DELAY WASH,
EXTRA RINSE, or STAIN CYCLE, by pressing
the button for that option.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every
wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil
level, or option is available with every cycle.

5
Press the START/PAUSE button to begin
the cycle. The door will latch,
the display will change, and
the washer will calculate the
estimated time remaining. Once
the washer has calculated the estimated
total cycle time, the washer will start.
To pause the cycle at any time, press
START/PAUSE.
NOTE: The cycle time displayed may
appear much longer than that of a top-
loading washer. The displayed time is for the
complete cycle, rather than just the agitation
portion of the cycle, as is typically shown on
a top-loading washer.
NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is
too high, the door cannot be unlocked until
the washer has cooled. If the water level is
too high, select the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to
drain excess water. Do not try to force the
door open.
Washing time can be reduced significantly
for small or lightly soiled loads by selecting
the Speed Wash cycle and setting the Soil
Level button to Light.
6
When the load is finished, the beeper (if set)
will sound and the door will unlock.
Remove damp clothes from the washer
immediately. Check under the door seal
for small items.
