of metal hooks, zippers, and snaps.

If you need to open the lid to add one or two missed items: Press

once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several
minutes if the load was spinning at a high speed. Then close the
lid and press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the cycle.
To stop or restart your washer:
■ To stop the washer at any time, press the START/PAUSE
button and the cycle will pause.
■ To restart the washer, press the START/PAUSE button and
the cycle will resume.
NOTE: If the washer is paused while in the spin phase, the lid will
unlock after 1 minute. During that minute, the Start/Pause button
will be disabled.
