Once you select a cycle, the default settings for that cycle will be 

lit. Press the cycle modifiers buttons to change the Temperatura 

(Temperature), Suciedad (Soil Level), and Exprimido (Spin Speed), 

if desired.   

 

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to 

avoid damage to your garments.

Press the INICIO/PAUSA/DESBLOQUEAR TAPA (Start/Pause/ 

Unlock) button to start the wash cycle. Filling is delayed for  

several minutes while load balance is sensed. When the cycle  

has finished, the FIN (Done) indicator will light up. Promptly  

remove garments after cycle has completed to avoid odor,  

reduce wrinkling, and rusting of metal hooks, zippers, and snaps.

If you need to open the lid to add 1 or 2 missed garments: 

 

Press INICIO/PAUSA/DESBLOQUEAR TAPA (Start/Pause/Unlock); 

the lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This 

may take several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. 

Then close lid and press INICIO/PAUSA/DESBLOQUEAR TAPA 

(Start/Pause/Unlock) again to restart the cycle.
If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will  

pump out.

Filling is delayed for 2 to 3 minutes to check for load unbalance. 

You will hear the hum of the spin prior to filling. This is normal 

operation.  

Select any other cycle options you may wish to add, if not 

previously set. Some cycles will automatically add certain 

options such as Extra enjuague (Extra Rinse). These can be 

turned off, if desired.
NOTE: Not all options are available with all cycles.
