Estimated Time Remaining Display
■
Displays the
approximate
time remaining until the end of the cycle.
■
If the estimated time remaining is more than 60 minutes, “1H” will flash in the display followed by the additional
remaining minutes. When the time remaining is less than 60 minutes, the timer will count down.
■
Cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home.
The “smart” timer “learns” the amount of time it takes to fill your washer and adjusts the total time accordingly.
