The Whirlpool
®
 Cabrio
®
 washer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need 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. See chart below for more 
details.  
For best fabric care, choose the cycle that 
best fits the load being washed.  
R - Recommended Cycle
a - Alternate Cycle
Blank – Cycle is available but not optimal.
