The lights over the pads (on some models)

come on when pressed, to indicate the cycle/option
that has been selected. Press pad firmly until lights
come on. These lights remain on while the door 
is latched.

Slowly turn the Dial to the START position. Don’t turn it
past the START position, or you could accidentally miss a
rinse. There is a time delay between start-up and water
fill so you will not hear any wash action right away.
