Determine Proper Cycle
REGULAR Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes,
towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will
depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil.
For the best results when cleaning heavily soiled
items, use a longer wash time (15 minutes
maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash
time.
PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The
wash time selection will depend upon the type of
fabric and amount of soil.

The PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS cycle
automatically cools the temperature of the fibres
before the spin. After the wash, the agitation stops,
the washtub spins slowly, partially drains and then
stops. Cold water will then be automatically added
to the washtub until the proper water level is
reached. This happens one or two times, depending
on the size of the load and type of drain connection.
When the COOL DOWN is complete, the washer
will pause shortly before continuing the cycle.
SOAK/PREWASH (With OPTIONS Switch
OFF)
Use for heavily soiled or stained clothing. Turn
timer knob to the beginning of the SOAK/
PREWASH cycle. Pull timer knob out to start the
water fill. Add detergent to the washtub, then place
the load into the tub. Close lid. After fill is
completed, agitation will begin. This cycle has
alternate periods of agitation and soaking. After the
soak/agitation period is over the washer will go into
an infinite pause and remain there. Do not leave
clothes sit in washer overnight. To complete the
cycle, manually advance the timer to spin. After
spin, select appropriate cycle and pull timer out to
start the water fill. Once the water mixes with the
clothes, add detergent.

SOAK/PREWASH (Using the OPTIONS
Switch)
See Options on following page.
DELICATES/WOOLLENS Cycle
Use this cycle to wash delicates and machine
washable woollens. A full tub of water is
recommended (even for small loads) to allow the
delicate items to move freely through the water.
More water helps reduce fabric wear, wrinkling,
and provides for a clean wash. Both wash and spin
actions are at slow speed.
SUPER WASH
Use this cycle for very heavily soiled or stained
clothing. This cycle will go through the Soak/
Prewash, Regular and Extra Rinse cycles. The
OPTION SWITCH MUST BE ON SUPER WASH
FOR THIS CYCLE.
EXTRA RINSE
Use this cycle for items you would like to have
rinsed only. The washtub will fill to the level you
have selected on the LOAD SIZE control. Washer
will agitate for five minutes, pause shortly and spin.

the washtub.
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer,
make sure the washer cord is plugged into a
240 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper
grounding and polarity. Make sure the washer
hoses are connected to the hot and cold water
faucets, and that the faucets are turned on. Be
sure the drain hose is inserted into a drain and is
not kinked. See the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer
installation.
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all
purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water
solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping
dust from inside of washtub.

laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during
normal machine operation.
