NOTE: Use the LARGE water level

for best permanent press results.

Match the wash and rinse water

What Happens in Each Cycle*

Each cycle has been designed for different kinds of fabrics. Numbers on the

dial on 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 clock-wise

until it points to OFF and the cycle ends.

structed fabrics that are

heavily soiled.

REGULAR NORMAL Cycle

A cycle for regular loads

of fabrics that are moder-

ately soiled.

PERMANENT PRESS NORMAL Cycle

A cycle designed for mod-

erately soiled permanent

press and some synthetic

fabrics. The cool-down

rinse helps keep wrinkles

from setting into these

items.

NOTE: You may hear the sound of water spraying during the spin parts of some

cycles. In some cycles, cold water is sprayed on the spinning load to help with

the rinsing.
