- 3. Select cycle and wash time

Start the washer by pulling out the

Cycle Control Knob. The washer will

fill to the selected water level with the

selected wash water temperature.

After filling, the washer will agitate

for

the selected number of minutes.

To stop the washer at any time,

push in the Cycle Control Knob. To

restart the washer, pull out the

Cycle Control Knob.

Whathappensineachcycle

Each cycle has different agitation and

spin speeds designed for different kinds

of fabrics.

Numbers on the dial in each cycle are

the minutes of wash agitation time.

When the Cycle Control Knob is set

to a number and pulled out, the washer

fills before agitation and timing starts.

After agitation starts, the knob turns

clockwise until it points to OFF and the

cycle ends.

The washer will pause briefly

throughout each cycle. These pauses

are normal. They allow for the reversing

of the motor, normal washer operation

and the cool-down portion of the

PERMANENT PRESS Cycle.

NOTE: You may hear the sound of

water spraying during the spin parts of

some cycles. In some cycles, water is

sprayed on the spinning load to help

with the rinsing.

For better fabric care in the REGULAR

and PERMANENT PRESS Cycles, the

agitation speed is reduced during the

last few minutes of wash agitation time.
