Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (estimated cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed and may have preset Options. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle.

The preset settings will glow green to show the preselected options and modifiers, and can be changed anytime before START is selected. Not all Options and Modifiers are available with all cycles. Available modifier selections will glow amber. (To change settings after the cycle has started, select STOP once, then select the desired settings. Select and hold START [for approximately 1 second] to continue the cycle.)

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.

Handwash/Wool

Use this cycle to clean washable woolen and special care garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra low tumbling speeds and soaking. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling.

•Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as infant socks.

•Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles.

Silk/Ultra Delicate

Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle, because there is no spinning action.

•Use mesh garment bags as necessary.

•Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles.

Rinse & Spin

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 & Spin is useful for

•Loads that need rinsing only.

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