Normal Cycle: Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels, T-shirts, etc. If the OPTIONS switch has been set to HIGH EFFICIENCY, the agitation during the wash portion of the cycle is not constant. The wash will alternate between a period of agitation and a period of pausing. This continues until advancing to the spin portion of the cycle.

Perm Press Cycle: Use for permanent press items and synthetics. If the OPTIONS switch has been set to HIGH EFFICIENCY, during the rinse portion of the cycle the tub won’t fill with water. Instead, there is a spray rinse.

Delicate Cycle: Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle. 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. If the OPTIONS switch has been set to HIGH EFFICIENCY, during the rinse portion of the cycle the tub won’t fill with water. Instead, there is a spray rinse.

Rinse & Spin Cycle: Use to quickly rinse items.

Spin Only Cycle: Use to extract water from wet items.

Off: Use to stop a cycle or change cycles.
