Press twice to select the last cycle used and start the washer.
■
If the washer is running, press once to interrupt the cycle; press again to continue

This pad should not be used to interrupt or pause a cycle.

Estimated Time Remaining
■
Displays the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle.
■
If the estimated time remaining is more than 60 minutes, “1H” will flash in the
display, followed by the additional remaining minutes. When the time remaining is
less than 60 minutes, the timer will count down.
■
Cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the
water pressure in your home. The “smart” timer “learns” the amount of time it
takes to fill your washer and adjusts the total time accordingly.
NOTE: If PRESOAK is selected and a follow up wash cycle is not chosen, two dashes
will come up in the display.

The Bleach Signal is a reminder signal that can be turned on to remind you to add bleach at
the proper time in the wash cycle. Adding detergent and bleach at the same time reduces the
effectiveness of both the enzymes in the detergent and the chlorine in the bleach. By adding
bleach later in the wash cycle, you allow the detergent’s enzymes to remove dirt and stains first,
and then provide a more effective dose of liquid bleach to whiten and sanitize your clothes.
