About the control settings.
Load Size
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. The water level should
just cover the clothes.
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care
label or instructions when laundering.
Wash Cycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The knob can be turned in either direction.
Turning the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and reset the cycle to the new
selection. Press START to begin the new cycle selection.
The Cycle Indicator Lights show what stage the washer is in. The wash time is the length of the wash
agitation. The 6 MIN light will remain lit during drain and spin. When the Selector knob is set to a new
cycle the Indicator Lights will flash momentarily, showing what stages the cycle will go through.
On models without an Auto Soak option, the SOAK light will not light up.
The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing.
WHITES For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
COLORS For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, knits and cottons.
DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light soils. Provides periods of agitation and soak during wash
and rinse.
EXTRA HEAVY For heavily soiled and heavy-duty fabrics. This cycle provides a longer agitation.
15 MIN For heavily soiled clothes. Begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves
AUTO SOAK through the rest of the cycle automatically.
START
Press START to begin the cycle. Pressing START again or raising the lid will PAUSE the cycle and
the Cycle indicator light will blink.
REMEMBER: When
choosing the cycle, the
Cycle Selector knob can
be pointed anywhere
within the shaded range
