- Press the “Start/Pause” button again.
- The machine will begin spinning the drum clockwise and counterclockwise.
4. Monitor the Calibration Progress
- The calibration cycle typically takes 2-3 minutes.
- The display will show the progress as “CAL:XX%” (where “XX” represents the percentage completion).
5. Complete the Calibration
- Once the calibration is complete, the display will show “CAL:100%.”
- The machine will automatically power off.
6. Reset the Machine
- Turn the machine back on.
- Select any wash cycle and press the “Start/Pause” button.
- Allow the machine to complete this wash cycle to reset its memory.
