HOW TO USE
TIME AND STATUS DISPLAY
ENGLISH
A
ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING
When the START/PAUSE 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 time shown is estimated. For example, the time
displayed may pause for a period of time while the
machine is heating the water or balancing the load.
Under certain conditions, the machine can pause for
extended periods of time.
• Estimated time is based on normal operating conditions.
Several external factors (load size, room temperature,
incoming water temperature, etc.) also affect the length
of estimated time vs. actual time.
C
CYCLE STATUS INDICATOR
These status LEDs illuminate to indicate which portion of
the cycle is currently running. A blinking light indicates the
active portion of the cycle. When that portion is complete,
the light will remain steady.
D
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 to pause 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, the door will not unlock. To
drain the water, press POWER, then press the SPIN
SPEED button without selecting a cycle. Press
START/PAUSE and the water will be drained and the
clothes will be spun out. Do not try to force the door
open, as it will damage the door.
E
DETERGENT AMOUNT INDICATOR
The Dtg. Amt. indicator displays the suggested amount of
detergent for the load. Fewer lighted bars indicate a
smaller load so less detergent should be used. See
detailed explanation on page 17.
B
LOAD-SENSING INDICATOR
This light will illuminate at the beginning of the cycle while
the control measures the size of the load. Once the size
has been determined, the control will adjust the cycle for
optimum performance. Estimated time remaining will not
be displayed until the load size has been determined and
may be different for each load.
The time and status display shows the estimated time remaining, cycle progress, and door lock status.
