by turning the Temperature knob to the appropriate setting
based on your load. All rinses are tap cold.

10. Press START/Pause/Unlock
to begin wash cycle
Press the START/Pause/Unlock button to start the wash
cycle. Filling is delayed for several minutes while load
balance is sensed. When the cycle has nished, the DONE
indicator will light. Promptly remove garments after cycle
has completed to avoid odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting
of metal hooks, zippers, and snaps.
Unlocking the lid to add garments
If you need to open the lid to add 1 or 2 missed garments:
Press START/Pause/Unlock; the lid will unlock once the
washer movement has stopped. This may take several
minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Then close
lid and press START/Pause/Unlock again to restart the cycle.
If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes, the water will pump
out automatically.
Delay in water fill
Filling is delayed for 2 to 3 minutes to check for load
unbalance. You will hear the hum of the spin prior to lling.
This is normal operation.
Select the desired cycle options. If you are using fabric
softener, be sure to select one of the Fabric Softener Added

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
