Understanding the Control Panel
On/Off Button (A)
Press this button to turn the main power to the machine on or off.
When the power is on and the Program Knob is on the Stop position,
the Start (G) button flashes.
Program Knob (B)
Refer to the table on pages 11-12 to determine the right program for
your current wash load. Turn knob to select correct program.
Stop Position
To stop the machine after starting a program, turn the Program Knob
to the Stop position. When you interrupt a program by turning the dial
to Stop, the door lock remains engaged for a two-minute safety delay,
after which you may open the machine door. To restart the machine,
reposition the Program Knob and press Start (G).
If you wish to use the drying function only, turn Program Knob to dry
and set the drying time with the Drying Time Knob.
Note: Before starting a program, the machine will drain
any water already in the machine, so you may need to add
detergent before you press Start (G).
Cycle Indicator Lights (C)
The light indicates progress of the wash/dry cycle as it occurs.
When the Stop light glows, the program is complete. After a two-
minute delay, the door lock will release so you can open the door.
Drying Time Knob (D)
Set knob to the number of minutes you wish to dry the load. See
page 11 for recommended dry times. To prevent over-drying and
damage to sensitive fabrics, start with a shorter time and add time
until the load is dry. To use the dry function only, turn Program Knob
to dry, set Drying Time Knob to number of minutes desired and press
Start (G).
