Getting started
Wash Cycles-Cycle Selector Knob
C
The wash cycle controls the type of washing process. The cycle selector knob can be turned in either direction.
Turning the knob after starting a cycle will NOT stop the washer or change the cycle/option to a new selection.
Pressing START locks the cycle selection, processes payment, and begins the cycle.
The chart below will help you match the items to be washed with the best wash cycle settings. For optimal
performance, select the cycle that most closely matches the items being washed.
Selections and options shown in bold are the recommended settings for that cycle.
Some cycles and options may not be available on some models.
WARNING
For Waterproof, Water-Resistant, or Bulky Items:
• Only use the Bulky Items (or Delicates) cycle. NOTE: Some models only have a Delicates cycle.
• Using other cycles can cause excessive vibration and may result in injury or damage to the washer, walls, or floor.
• Do not mix waterproof and non-waterproof items.
• Read the Owner's Manual for wash cycle details.
