OPERATING YOUR WASHER
What happens in each cycle
When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected water level) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation can occur with the washer lid up or down. After agita- tion starts, the Cycle Control Knob turns clockwise until it points to Off and the cycle ends.
The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.
NOTE: A Gentle Wash system helps protect your fabrics by reducing wash agitation speed during the last few minutes of wash agitation in the Normal and Permanent Press cycles.

Self-cleaning lint filter
The lint filter at the bottom of the washer basket cleans itself. During agitation, wash and rinse water passes over the filter, separating the lint from the water. The lint is then spun away from the filter and out of the system during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint collected in the tub or strainer.
