What Happens In Each Cycle - Whirlpool LA5550XP Use & Care Manual

What happens in each cycle*
Each cycle has different agitation and spin speeds designed for different
kinds of fabrics.
When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a mark and pulled out, the washer fills
before agitation and timing starts. After agitation starts, the knob turns clockwise
until it points to OFF and the cycle ends.
REGULAR HEAVY Cycle
A cycle for sturdily con-
structed fabrics that are
heavily soiled.
REGULAR LIGHT Cycle
A cycle for sturdily con-
structed fabrics that are
moderately to lightly
soiled.
PERMANENT PRESS HEAVY Cycle
A cycle designed for per-
manent press and some
synthetic fabrics that are

down rinse helps keep
wrinkles from setting into
these fabrics.
