Normal cycle

The Normal cycle features high-speed agitation followed by a brief period of low-speed agitation for cleaning cottons and linens. High spin speeds shorten drying time. Select 10 (Regular) or 14 (Heavy) minutes of wash time, depending on whether your load is moderately or heavily soiled.

Super Wash – Select this 18-minute wash for heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Use two times the recommended amount of detergent for this cycle.

Permanent Press cycle

The Permanent Press cycle starts with high-speed agitation then steps down 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. Select 6 or 10 minutes of wash time, depending on whether your load is lightly or moderately soiled.

Delicates cycle

The Delicates cycle features low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal from delicate items and wash- able knits. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Select this 6-minute cycle to clean lightly to moder- ately soiled loads.

Soak cycle

The Soak cycle features brief periods of agitation and soak time to remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment.

•Use warm water when soaking laundry. Hot water can set stains.

•Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive recommended by the manufacturer.

•After the Soak cycle ends, add detergent and set a new wash cycle.
