Cycle Control Knob

The washer features ten different wash cycles which are identified around the large cycle control knob at the left side of the control panel.

To select a wash cycle:

1.Push the cycle control knob “IN”. This will allow the knob to be turned clockwise to the desired cycle setting.

2.When the cycle control knob is pulled “OUT” the washer will begin to OPERATE.

When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a specific wash setting and pulled out, the following will take place in a pre-determined sequence depending on the wash cycle chosen:

Wash Sequence

1.The washer begins to fill to the selected load size.

2.When the water level has reached the selected load size the washer will immediately begin to agitate. (Agitation will occur with the washer lid open or closed.)

3.Following agitation all the water will drain from the tub. No agitation occurs.

NOTE: The permanent Press Cycle partially drains, fills, agitates briefly and fully drains.

4.The fourth action during a wash cycle is spin, during which excess water is removed from the fabrics. (Spin will only occur with the washer lid closed.)

Rinse Sequence

5.The washer will fill to the pre-deterimed load size.

6.When the water level has reached the selected load size the washer will immediately begin to agitate. (Agitation will occur with the washer lid open or closed.)
