Note: Allow the washer to complete
the entire spin cycle (5 minutes) to
avoid the next cycle beginning with a
spin.
For Rinse, press the "Rinse" pad to
rinse a load. After a slight pause, the
washer will fill and automatically select
an "Extra Large large" Water Level,
Cold Water and 2 minutes of agitation.
"Rinse 2 Minutes" will appear in the

The load size and rinse temperature
can be changed by touching the appro~
priate Load pad or the "Warm Ri nse"

For Spin, press the "Spin" pad. The
spin cycle is used to drain the tub or
spin out a load. The washer tub will
begin spinning and automatically select
a 5 minute spin. "Spin 5 Minutes" will
appear in the display. The spin time
can be increased (up to 8 minutes) or
decreased by pressing the (~ or

Changing and Monitoring Programs
You can change back and forth to any
wash cycle until the washer fill is com-
plete. A Washer Cycle Program, Load
or Water selection can be changed by
pressing another pad before the fill is
finished. Options are selected by
pressing the pad once or canceled by
pressing the pad again. The
~
or ...
pads are pressed to lengthen or shorten
a portion of a program. Pressing the
"OFF" pad stops the washer and
cancels all selections.
The progress of the washer program
can be monitored by noting the location
16001145
of the red sequence lights for each
portion of the program -- SOAK, WASH,
RINSE, S-RINSE, and SPIN. The number
of minutes remaining in each portion of
a program appears in the Digital
Display.
IMPORTANT: If a washer program is
selected while the lid is open, "Lid" will
appear in the display and you must
raise and lower the lid and re-select
wash cycle. The washer will not agitate
or spin unless the lid is closed.
Select the Proper Water Level
Since the "Extra Large" Water Level is
automatically selected, the water level
needs changed only if the load is small
or medium in size. Simply press the
corresponding load size pad for the
appropriate water level.
Remember, for best washing results,
clothes must circulate freely. If too little
water is used, it may result in poor
washing action, linting or wear on
fabrics. Use the following as a guide to
select the proper water level:
• Extra Large - Use this setting when
the tub is 3/4 to full of clothes.
• Large - Use this setting when the tub
is 1/2 to full of clothes.
• Medium - Use this setting when the
tub is 1/3 to 1/2 full of clothes.
• Small - Use this setting when the tub
is 1/4 to 1/3 full of clothes.
• Mini - Less than 1/4 full of clothes.
NOTE: When laundering permanent
press or delicately constructed items,
washable woolens or loosely knit items,
never use less than the "Medium"
setting. This will minimize shrinkage,
wrinkling and pulling of seams.
