CYCLE COMPLETE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come
on. Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning,
the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn
on. This light indicates that the lid is locked and
cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press START/PAUSE/
UNLOCK LID. 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/UNLOCK LID again to
resume the cycle.
WASH
You will hear the impeller 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. 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.

Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments
indicating “Machine Washable Silks” or
“Gentle” cycle on the care label. Place small
items in mesh garment bags before washing.
This cycle uses a higher, preset water level.
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron
fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual
business clothes, permanent press, and
blends.
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons
and mixed fabric loads. This cycle features
a spray rinse. Low speed spin is not
available.
Use this cycle to wash large items such as
jackets and small comforters. The washer
will fill with enough water to wet down the
load before the wash portion of the cycle
begins, and uses a higher water level than
other cycles.
Combines a rinse and spin for loads
requiring an additional rinse cycle or to
complete a load after power interruption.
Spin speed is selectable; default is high. This
cycle uses a higher, preset water level. Also
use for loads that require rinsing only.
