Cycle Selection
For best results, follow the fabric care label directions
on items to be washed.

tumble complete the cycle.

reversing tumble action for heavily soiled fabrics.

tumble action for normally soiled fabrics.
• Light Wash provides up to 6 minutes of reversing
tumble action for lightly soiled fabrics.
Knits/Delicates Cycle
Up to 11 minutes of gentle tumble action for the gentle
care of knit, delicate and hand washable items. Two
rinses and two spins complete the cycle.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
Note: There is no need to select a water level
because the washer automatically adjusts the
water level to the type and size of wash load.
TEMPERATURES - This determines water temperatures
for washing and rinsing. For example, the Warm/Cold
setting provides a warm water wash and a cold water
final rinse.
Note: Detergents are not as effective at wash water
temperatures below 65°F (18.3°C).
CYCLE SIGNAL - A signal will sound at the end of the
cycle when the Cycle Signal is set to YES. This can be
turned off by selecting NO on the Cycle Signal switch.
