Lid Lock
Your washer has a security system that prevents opening the lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents
anyone (especially children) from reaching into the washer while the basket is spinning. The lock will be
released approximately 2 minutes after the basket stops spinning.

Loosely load clothes into the washer basket and select the appropriate load size. (For models that do not have a load size
selection knob, press the load size button repeatedly to switch between different water levels).

Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or instructions when
