Start The Washer; Indicator Lights - Maytag LAT2300 Service Manual

Presoaking:
The Automatic Presoak cycle (not on all
models) moves from the presoak into
the "HEAVY" regular fabric cycle auto-
matically. Since the presoak and the
wash are done in one tub of water, it
saves water and energy. A hot water
presoak is recommended for heavily
soiled items.
To use the AUTOMATIC PRESOAK
cycle, turn the control knob to
PRESOAK. The washer will soak for
approximately 10 minutes (this includes
periods of agitation) then move directly
into 12 minutes of wash without
draining and refilling.
Start the Washer
Pull out the cycle control knob to start
the washer. It will fill to the selected
water level with the selected wash
water temperature. After filling, it will
agitate for the selected number of
minutes.
The washer will pause briefly
throughout each cycle. These pauses
are normal.
This washer is designed so that it will
not agitate or spin when the lid is open.

It will, however, fill with the lid open so
water is available for pretreating stains
or diluting fabric softener.
Should the lid be opened during a
cycle, the washer will stop; when the lid
is closed the washer will resume it's
cycle at the point it was interrupted.
Note: If an unbalanced load occurs
during the spin, the washer will atom-
ically stop. If this happens, push in the
control knob, wait for the tub to stop
spinning, open the lid, redistribute the
load, close the lid and pullout the
control knob.
Indicator Lights
(Lights will vary according to model)
The ON light stays lit throughout the
entire cycle indicating the washer is
operating. The SOAK light is on during
the presoak cycle. The WASH/RINSE
light is on during the wash and rinse
portion of all cycles. The SPIN light
indicates that the washer is spinning
the load. The SUPERWASH light is on
until the timer advances into the
Regular Fabrics HEAVY cycle.
