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.
