Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be washed.

The Whites, Casual and Delicates cycles progress through wash agitation, drain and spin with a spray rinse, rinse agitation, and a spray rinse during the final spin.

WHITES

•This cycle provides up to 15 minutes of normal agitation and a fast spin for most fabrics.

•Power Spin provides 12 minutes of spin for maximum removal of water. This conserves energy by reducing drying time.

EXTRA RINSE

•Use the Extra Rinse cycle after any complete wash cycle when an additional deep rinse may be needed to remove excess detergent and soil. It provides 3 minutes of rinse agitation in cold water, followed by a spray rinse at the selected rinse water temperature during spin.

•If desired, add liquid fabric softener to the water (not the fabric softener dispenser) or use a softener sheet in the dryer. DO NOT pour fabric softener directly onto the load.

CASUAL

•This cycle provides up to 12 minutes of normal agitation and a fast spin for cottons and blends with a no-iron finish. A cool down spray rinse helps reduce wrinkling.

•Select the Casual Prewash setting to help loosen soil and remove stains before washing. Add the recommended amount of detergent and other laundry products desired to tub. Add load. Select a cold water rinse and appropriate load size. Load will agitate 4 minutes, drain and spin. Follow Casual Prewash with a complete Casual cycle and a half dose of detergent.

DELICATES

•Provides 6 minutes of gentle agitation and a slow spin for the gentle care of knits and delicate items.

•Select the Hand Wash setting for 3 minutes of gentle agitation and a slow spin for the gentle care of hand washable items.

SOAK/PREWASH

Soak

•Use Soak to treat heavily soiled or stained items. Soak provides 3 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of soaking time in cold water. The load then advances into the Prewash portion of the cycle.

•Use the amount of detergent recommended for a normal wash cycle. If desired, use a bleach or a soaking agent safe for the fabric.

•Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle using a half dose of detergent.

Prewash

•Use Prewash to loosen soils before washing and to help remove protein-based stains such as milk, grass and blood. Prewash provides 3 minutes of agitation before the water drains.

•Use the amount of detergent recommended for a normal wash cycle.

•The Prewash water temperature is the same as the wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting protein stains, select cold water.

•Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using a half dose of detergent.
