SPECIAL SAFETY FEATURE
This washer is equipped with a special feature that is designed to make your washer as safe as possible. If the washer
is paused or shut off while there is still water in the tub, the washer will automatically drain the water after 4 minutes to
help keep children safe by reducing the possibility of water remaining in the tub.
If the washer is shut off for three minutes while there is still water in the tub, an alarm will sound to notify you that the
washer is about to drain the water from the tub. The washer can be restarted at this time if desired.
If the washer is paused for 4 minutes, the display will go off and all cycle settings will be lost. After three more minutes,
the alarm will sound to notify you that the washer is about to drain the water from the tub. The washer can be turned on
and another cycle started if desired.
If no action is taken, the “di^’ error code will be displayed and the water will be drained from the tub. Once the washer
begins draining the water, the controls are disabled and the drain process cannot be interrupted. Once the water is
completely drained, the washer will shut off.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that the washer experiences an error that causes an error code to be displayed, the washer
will still sound the alarm after three minutes and drain after 4 minutes. However, only the original error code will be dis­
played.
