Cycle Guide
This washer has a unique user interface to help you select the best wash cycle for your load. The “What to Wash/How to Wash” layout
guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:
First, determine what items are in the load that you are trying to wash. Use that to guide your “What to Wash” selection. Then
determine how you want the washer to wash them and select the appropriate “How to Wash” selection. Selecting “What to Wash” will
automatically select a default “How to Wash selection,” so selecting a “How to Wash” is optional. See chart below for more details.
Settings and options shown in
