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.
REMEMBER: When choosing
the cycle, the Cycle Selector
knob can be pointed anywhere
within the shaded range for
the cycle setting.
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.
