How to set up delay start or end timer on your 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. 

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.
5 Press the Start/Pause button.

The Delay End indicator will light up and the clock will begin counting down until it reaches the set time. The wash will begin at the required time to finish the wash at the time you have set.

6 To cancel the Delay End function turn the washing machine off and then turn it on again by pressing the Power button.
1 Add your laundry loosely into the drum without overfilling it.
2 Press the Power button to turn the power on.
