OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Understanding what happens in each cycle

When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down.

After agitation starts, the Cycle Control Knob turns clockwise until it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.

NOTE: The washer pauses briefly through- out each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.
