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.
