7. Pull the timer knob out to start the washer. The DOOR LOCKED light will come on after a short delay, water fill will begin, and wash drum will begin tumbling.

NOTE: Washer door MUST be closed tightly to start washer.

If items need to be added or removed after a cycle has started, push the timer knob in, wait approximately 45 seconds for DOOR LOCKED light to go out, open door, add or remove items, adjust the timer knob (if desired) and pull timer knob out.

There is no agitator on this washer. Instead, the clothing gently tumbles through the water. The wash action consists of a period of tumbling in one direction, a brief pause, and then a reverse tumble in the opposite direction. The pauses are part of the tumble action and add to the uniqueness of the washer. Do not attempt to turn the timer through these pauses. They are part of the cycle.

Timer

Although the washer cycles are automatic, the timer may be reset to lengthen, shorten or repeat a portion of a cycle.

DOOR LOCKED Light

When the washer is started, the DOOR LOCKED light will come on after a short delay. The light will turn off 10 to 30 seconds after the cycle is complete.

Out of Balance Load

If at the end of the cycle, the load is dripping wet, the washer has limited the spin speed. This is to prevent damage to the unit if there is a severely unbalanced load.

If this condition occurs, redistribute the load manually and repeat the cycle beginning at the last rinse.

If the condition persists, consider steps discussed in the Before Washing section of the Use and Care Guide.

To set or reset the timer, push timer knob in to stop the washer. Hold timer knob in firmly while slowly turning it clockwise to the setting desired. Pull timer knob out to start the washer.
