LID LOCK INDICATOR
This light indicates that the lid is locked
and cannot be opened. If you need to open
the lid, press START/PAUSE. 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 again to restart
the cycle.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHT INDICATORS
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle.
At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds
or pauses that are different from traditional washers.
FILL
When the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer will
add a small amount of water to the load, then pause for
a few seconds. The lid will then lock and the washer will
continue to ll.
WASH
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with
water. Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning.
Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style
washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the
soils. The motor sounds may change at different stages
in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected
Soil Level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briey (short hum) to move the basket while lling. Fabric
softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was
selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
ADD A GARMENT
You may place additional clothing in the wash when
the Add a Garment indicator light is glowing without sacric-
ing wash performance. Press START/Pause once. The Lid
Lock light will turn off. Open the washer lid, add garments
and close the lid. Press START/Pause to restart.
CLEAN WASHER REMINDER
The Clean Washer Reminder indicator lights after 30 wash
cycles without a clean washer cycle. See the “Cleaning Your
Washer” section to run the clean washer cycle, or you can
press REMINDER RESET button to manually reset clean
washer cycle counter.
