5. Select wash cycle and time
Push timer knob in and turn to desired cycle and wash time. Timer knob

upon type of fabric and amount of soil. For best results when cleaning
heavily soiled items, use longer wash time, up to 15 minute maximum.
Lightly soiled items require less wash time. See "Cycles" section for
more information.

provides a second rinse to more completely remove laundry additives,
suds, and perfumes in REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS, and
DELICATE cycles. To select, set switch to ON. Set switch to OFF if not
desired. EXTRA RINSE adds 10-15 minutes to total cycle time.
