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.
