Push timer knob in and turn to desired cycle and wash
time. Timer knob can be turned in either direction. Wash
cycle and time selection depends upon type of fabric and
amount of soil. For best results when cleaning heavily
soiled items, use longer wash time, up to 15 minute
maximum.
Lightly soiled items require less wash time. See "Cycles"
section for more information.
Water fill begins.
Use only detergent recommended for top-loading
washers.
DO NOT pack clothes into tub. Loosely fill tub with
clothes no higher than top row of holes. Items must move
freely through water.
Bulky fabrics need more water added after agitation

Wash action consists of periods of
agitation, with pauses or periods of

remove excessive moisture from hand-
washed objects or just wanting to
remove as much moisture as
possible from your items.
