Wash Cycles Express Wash

Choose Wash Cycles by turning the selector knob. The cycle indicator light will glow when selected. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels. The modifier indicator lights, on the right-hand side of the panel, will change as cycles are selected.

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 high speed spin to shorten drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash time.

■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.)

To change the preset cycle settings

Press the selector of each available setting until the desired setting glows green.

Handwash/Delicate

Use this cycle to clean hand washable items and ultra delicate garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and spins with low-speed to gently clean garments and 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.

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.

Drain & Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric stress.

Clean Washer

Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level in combination with liquid chlorine bleach and steam, to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer” in the “Washer Care” section.

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum.
