Selecting a Cycleand Time, Rinse and Spin

6.Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

■Your washer uses the ACCUWASH™ automatic temperature control. The ACCUWASH feature maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at approximately 75ºF (24ºC). The warm wash is maintained at approximately 100ºF (38ºC).

NOTE: Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on or the ACCUWASH feature will not work properly.

	Water Temp	Use For

	Hot	Whites and pastels
	111°F (44°C)	Heavy and greasy soils
	or above	Heavy and greasy soils
	or above

	Warm	Bright colors
	90°-110°F	Moderate to light soils
	(32°-43°C)	Moderate to light soils
	(32°-43°C)

	Cold	Colors that bleed or fade
	70°-90°F	Light soils
	(21°-32°C)	Light soils
	(21°-32°C)

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF (21ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments).

7.(OPTIONAL STEP) For an additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the EXTRA RINSE selector to ON.

8.(OPTIONAL STEP) Set the CYCLE SIGNAL selector to ON if you want your washer to sound a signal when the wash cycle is finished. The signal is helpful when you are washing items that should be removed from the washer as soon as the cycle ends.

9.Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a small load size setting. See “Selecting a Cycle and Time.”

■Refer to “Understanding Washer Cycles” to learn what happens during a wash cycle.

Normal cycle

This cycle features high-speed agitation for cleaning cottons and linens, and high spin speed to shorten drying time. Select up to 15 minutes of wash time, depending on whether your load is lightly, moderately or heavily soiled. For lightly soiled cotton and linen fabrics, use the shortest time setting.

Casual/Permanent Press cycle

This cycle starts with high-speed agitation and then steps to low- speed agitation for cleaning permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a cool-down rinse and a low-speed final spin. Use this cycle to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.

Delicates cycle

This cycle features low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal from delicate items and washable knits. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Use this cycle to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.

Hand Washables cycle

This cycle features a series of brief, low speed agitations and short soaks to gently clean special-care items. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Wash small loads. If items appear to be floating (due to trapped air), stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle Control knob. Push items down into the washer. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to restart the washer.

Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start the washer.

To stop or restart your washer

■To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle Control knob.

■To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out the Cycle Control knob.

Selecting a Cycleand Time

This section describes the available wash cycles and will help you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.

■The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Washer Sounds” to learn more about the sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.

Rinse and Spin

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is needed.

1.Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Rinse settings.

2.Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer fills to the selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.

NOTE: Your washer has an EXTRA RINSE selector that allows you to add an extra rinse automatically to any wash cycle. See “Starting Your Washer.”

Drain and Spin

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.

1.Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin settings.

2.Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains, then spins.
