Front Load Washer Cycle Guide
This washer has a unique user interface to help you select the best 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.
