To provide the best care for your laundry, not every
setting or option is available with every cycle. If a setting or
option is not available for the cycle selected, the indicator will
not light.
If the cycle is interrupted during spin, it will take ap-
proximately 2-3 minutes for the door lock to release. DO NOT
force open the door.
- ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD -
Do not leave the door open if there are small children or pets
present. An open door could entice children to hang on the
door or crawl inside the washer. If there are no small children
present, you may leave the door ajar to prevent odor build up.
