These controls are intended to show the variety of features that are available in the product line. If your washer does not have all the options that are shown, it is not a mistake. The information provided applies to several of the models in the product line.

What do the little numbers mean?

Numbers next to cycle setting shows the approximate total agitation time. The total wash time includes periods of soaking and is longer than the agitation time.

SOAK (SOME MODELS)

Use for heavily soiled or stained items. Washtub fills with water, pauses approximately 12 minutes for soaking, and spins water out to complete cycle.

HAND WASH

(SOME MODELS)

Use for fine fabrics normally washed by hand. To protect fragile fabrics, washer speed automatically runs at Gentle/Slow, regardless of position of speed selector switch.

REGULAR

Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels, T-shirts, etc.

DOUBLE WASH

DOUBLE WASH automatically advances into the REGULAR wash cycle. Use to wash heavily soiled clothes twice with detergent in each cycle.

To deliver extra detergent,

•LIQUID DETERGENT: place in fabric softener dispenser for use in second wash. DO NOT use dispenser for fabric softener.

•POWDER DETERGENT: place extra detergent in tub for use in first wash; recommend approximately 1½ times normal amount.

QUICK WASH

(SOME MODELS)

Use for a small load of lightly soiled items that needs to be washed quickly. QUICK WASH has a shortened cycle with a light period of agitation. It then automatically sets to a fast spin speed to help shorten drying times. The total cycle time is approximately 15-20 minutes.

QUICK WASH

PERMANENT

PRESS/KNITS

Use for clothes that recommend a permanent press cycle and other synthetics.

DELICATE

Use to wash delicate items often washed by hand. Even with small loads, full tub of water is recom- mended so items can move freely for more complete cleaning. More water also helps reduce fabric wear and wrinkling. To protect delicate fabrics, washer speed automati- cally runs at Gentle/Slow, regard- less of position of speed selector switch.
