How do I set up the Delay End function on my washing machine?

You can set the time that you want your washing machine to finish your wash. You can choose a delay of between 3 to 19 hours in 1-hour increments. The hour displayed indicates the time when the cycle will finish. To check your exact model, consult your user manual.

For example, if you wanted to finish a 2-hour cycle an hour later you could begin the cycle at 2:00 and have it finish by 5:00. Effectively the start of the wash is delayed, creating a delayed end. 

Delay End function explained.

1 Add your laundry loosely into the drum without overfilling it
2 Press the Power button to turn the power on
3 Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load
4 Press the Delay End button repeatedly until the delay time is set
