Hand Wash
Use this cycle for garments labeled “Hand Wash” and special care items. Gentle cleaning starts with a continuous spray of water and detergent mixture as the load is spun at
Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:
■The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.
■The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
NOTE: Some “Hand Wash” items, particularly wool, naturally shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled “Hand Wash.” Items that shrink should be dried flat. When still wet, block these items by gently stretching to original measurements.

WhatHappensin aWash Cycle
After you have loaded the washer, selected the cycle and options and pressed START, your washer does the following:
Distributes the load
■Load is initially fluffed to distribute the load before water is added.
Fills
■Water enters through the dispenser to mix with the detergent. Water continues to be added until the load is soaked and just enough water is present to maintain the spray. This way of washing and rinsing uses less water and makes the detergent more effective in cleaning your clothes. As a result, you will see only a wet load and not a full tub of water, if you open the lid.
Washes
■As the washer continues to fill, a
■The spinning stops and the CALYPSO® wash motion begins, while the wash water continues to be sprayed onto the moving load. The length of wash depends on the cycle and wash time selected.
■The CALYPSO® wash motion features five wash speeds in combination with
■Liquid chlorine bleach is dispensed in the last 2 to 3 minutes of the wash cycle to help ensure the best cleaning results.
■The wash water is then drained and spun out before rinsing begins.
