OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Selecting a cycle, time, and temperature

Use the information in this section to help you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabrics and soil levels.

The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.

Page 12 describes what happens during a wash cycle.

Normal cycle

The Normal cycle features either WARM or COLD water and longer spins to shorten drying time. Select the 14-minute WARM cycle to clean large loads of sturdily con- structed fabrics that are heavily soiled. Select the 10-minute COLD cycle to clean cotton and linen fabrics that are moderately to heavily soiled.

Cycle options

You may select a different wash time by first selecting the water temperature (Warm or Cold) and then turning to the new wash time. For example, for 14 minutes of wash time with Cold water:

2.Pull out the Cycle Control Knob and allow your washer to fill.

3.When your washer has filled, push in and turn the Cycle Control Knob to Heavy, 14 minutes of wash time.
