disengaging the motor
When the machine is manually turned off, the shifter will
disengage the motor before completely shutting down.

when lid is closed.
Short spray and
delay after pushing
the Start button

closed between cycle
selection and start
This is normal. See START-UP SEQUENCE in the
Safety
Instructions
section.

during these cycles to get your clothes cleaner with less wear.
This is normal
Many cycles incorporate as series of soaks within the agitation
period to get your clothes clean with less wear.

freely
Washer basket does not have a traditional brake. Washer
basket will move freely. This is normal.
Spin time longer
than previous

efficiency washer with
an infusor

Extra spin time typically reduces dryer time/energy usage (i.e.
reduces total energy when using both a washer and a dryer).
You may notice that the spin time is longer than on your
previous washer.
