Determine Proper Cycle

(Some cycles may not be included on your model)

Regular Cycle

Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil. For the best results when cleaning heavily soiled items, use a longer wash time (15 minutes maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash time and spin out.

If available, use the Prewash setting for extra heavily soiled items. During the PREWASH setting, the washtub will fill with water, agitate for a reduced period of time and spin out.

There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle – Heavy, Normal and Light.

Permanent Press Cycle

Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The wash time selection will depend upon the type of fabric and amount of soil.

There are two settings in the PERMANENT PRESS cycle – Normal and Light.

Handwash/Delicate Cycle (on select models only)

Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended (even for small loads) to allow the delicate items to move freely through the water. More water helps reduce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.

On this cycle, the agitation during the wash portion of the cycle is not constant. The wash will alternate between 24 seconds of agitation and then a pause until advancing to the spin portion of the cycle.

There are two settings in the HANDWASH/ DELICATE cycle – Normal and Light.

Delicate Cycle (on select models only)

There is one setting in the DELICATE cycle – Normal.

Hand Wash Cycle (on select models only)

Wash items usually washed by hand on this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended (even for small loads) to allow the delicate items to move freely through the water. More water helps reduce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.

Soak/Prewash (on select models only)

Use for heavily soiled or stained clothing. During the SOAK/PREWASH setting, the washtub will fill with water, agitate for a reduced period of time, pause for approximately 12 minutes, and spin out to complete the cycle.

Extra Rinse (on select models only)

This optional setting is useful for detergent sensitive skin. By pressing the “Extra Rinse” button to “ON,” the REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS and HANDWASH/DELICATE cycles will each provide an additional rinse.
