Your washer has a security system that prevents opening the
lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents anyone (espe-
cially children) from reaching into the washer while the bas-
ket is spinning. The lid lock will be released within 5 seconds
after the basket stop spinning. Trying to open the lid while
locked could result in injuries. If the lid does not unlock after
spinning, please contact service.
NOTE: If there is a power outage the lid lock can take 3 min-
utes to release.
The wash cycle controls the length and intensity of the wash-
ing process. The knob can be turned in either direction. Turn-
ing the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop
the washer and reset the cycle to the new selection. Press
START to begin the new cycle selection.
The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting
with your clothing. The chart is ranked from longest to short-
est cycle time and wash intensity. (Cycles vary by model.)
