To change the preset cycle settings

Press the selector of each available setting until the desired setting glows green.

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual Cycle.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum temperature.

NOTE: Stain Treat is a default option for this cycle. To ensure best performance, the water is heated as the cycle progresses. This gradual heating assists in the removal of organic soils such as blood. Stain Treat must be turned off to change the modifiers.

Whitest Whites

This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Sanitary

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a very hot water temperature and fast-speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF (49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time.

Rinse/Drain & Spin

This is a combined cycle. See below for detailed instructions on each option.

Use this cycle to rinse, drain, and spin your wash load. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

Rinse/Drain & Spin is useful for

■Loads that need rinsing only.

■Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener dispenser.

Drain & Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric stress.

To use Drain & Spin setting

■Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN cycle.

■Press the 2ND RINSE button to deselect the rinse option.

■Press START.

Clean Washer

Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle takes approximately 50 minutes to complete and should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum.

Express Wash

Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash time.
