NDERSTANDING 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.

During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous

rollover action that 
provides a thorough 
cleaning of the wash
load.

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

NOTES:

•

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

•

A Gentle Wash system helps protect your fabrics
by reducing wash agitation speed during the last
few minutes of wash agitation in the Regular and
Permanent Press cycles.
