Operating Instructions

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, serious
injury or death to persons, read the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on pages 3 and 4 before
operating your washer.

Determine Proper Cycle

Regular Cycle
Use for sturdy items, play or work clothes, towels,
T-shirts, etc. Wash time selection will depend on type of
fabric and amount of soil. When cleaning heavily soiled
items, use prewash setting and a longer wash time (15
minutes maximum). Lightly soiled items require less
wash time.
Regular Cycle contains four settings—Prewash, Heavy,
Normal and Light. Prewash setting is for heavily soiled or
stained clothing. Number shown next to Heavy, Normal,
and Light settings is the length of tumbling in minutes.
(For example: Setting timer on Heavy will be a 15 minute
tumble, including pauses.)
NOTE: Detergent will not be dispensed during the
Prewash setting. Use a spot remover directly on
stains when using this setting. To add detergent
during a Prewash cycle, add powder into the
wash tub, add liquid detergent into the detergent
dispenser. If liquid detergent is used, you will
need to add detergent to the dispenser during the
wash portion of the cycle also.
Permanent Press/Knit Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. Wash
time selection will depend upon type of fabric and amount
of soil. There are two settings in the PERMANENT
PRESS/KNITS cycle—Normal and Light. Number shown
next to these settings is length of tumbling in minutes.
(For example: Setting timer on Normal will be a nine
minute tumble, including pauses.)
Delicate Cycle
Wash delicate items that typically get washed by hand, in
this cycle. There are two settings in the DELICATE
cycle—Normal and Light. Number shown next to these
settings is length of tumbling in minutes. (For example:
Setting timer on Normal will be a seven minute tumble,
including pauses.)
Rinse and Spin Cycle
Use for items that only need to be rinsed. This cycle is
also useful in ridding your washer of suds when too much
detergent has been used.
NOTE: Rinse and Spin setting can be used to help
completely remove excess soap from any wash
setting.
