THE LCD DISPLAY
The LCD display shows the settings, estimated
time remaining, options, and status messages
for your washer. When the washer is turned on,
the light in the display will illuminate.
STATUS/CYCLE DISPLAY
This portion of the display shows the selected
cycle, operating status, and special messages.
If a cycle has special instructions, they will also
be displayed in this area.
ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING
When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the
washer automatically detects the wash load
(weight) and optimizes the washing time, based
on the selected cycle and options. The display
will then indicate the estimated time remaining
for the selected wash cycle.
NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear
much longer than that of a top-loading washer.
The displayed time is for the complete cycle,
rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle,
as is typically shown on a top-loading washer.
CYCLE COMPLETION INDICATOR
Shows how much of the current wash cycle has
been completed.
STEAM CYCLE INDICATOR
Indicates that a STEAM cycle has been selected.
DOOR LOCk INDICATOR
Indicates that the door is locked. The washer
door will lock while the washer is operating. The
door can be unlocked by pressing the START/
PAUSE button to stop the washer.
NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too
high, the door cannot be unlocked until the
washer has cooled. If the water level is too high,
select the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to drain excess
water. Do not try to force open the door.

CHILD LOCk INDICATOR
When CHILD LOCK is set, the Child Lock
indicator will appear and all buttons are
disabled except the ON/OFF button. This
prevents children from changing settings while
the washer is operating.
DELAY WASH INDICATOR
This indicator shows that the washer has
been set for DELAY WASH. The washer will
start automatically after the set delay time
has passed.
CYCLE SETTING INDICATORS
These indicators show the current cycle
settings for WASH/RINSE, SPIN SPEED, SOIL
LEVEL, and DRY. To change these settings,
press the appropriate settings button.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every
wash/rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level,
or option is available with every cycle.

complete cycle, rather than just the agitation
portion of the cycle, as is typically shown on
a top-loading washer.
NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is
too high, the door cannot be unlocked until
the washer has cooled. If the water level is
too high, select the DRAIN & SPIN cycle to
drain excess water. Do not try to force the
door open.
Washing time can be reduced significantly
for small or lightly soiled loads by selecting
the Speed Wash cycle and setting the Soil
Level button to Light.
