*These times are for reference only and may not match your model exactly.

**Cycle time in minutes will appear in the display while you are making selections. The total cycle time will appear, including an estimated time for drain and fill times, once Start is pressed.

NOTE: Load only to the top of the basket. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. See “Starting Your Washer.”

Whites

This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin speed. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach must be used.

Super Wash

Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Stain Cycle is the default option for this cycle, but it can be turned off. See “Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options.”

Bulky

Use this cycle to wash large items such as comforters, sleeping bags and blankets. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance.

Sheets

Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases and towels. The wash action of this cycle is designed to keep large items from tangling and balling up.

IMPORTANT: For best performance, drop items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load items directly on the impeller for this cycle.

Normal

Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin.

Wrinkle Control

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press and blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a low- speed spin and a cool down process to help reduce wrinkling.

Colors/Jeans

Use this cycle for lightly soiled, dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as cotton that may be susceptible to dye loss. Cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and high-speed spin. For best results use cold or warm water.

Quick Wash

Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads that are needed in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin for the best cleaning and shortened dry times.

Delicate

Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating “Machine Washable Silks” or “Gentle” cycle on the care label. This cycle uses intermittent low speed wash action and low- speed spin for optimal fabric care.

When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulins (tarps) or waterproof or water-resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have.

Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:

The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.

The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.

Handwash

This cycle combines low-speed wash and low-speed spin action to clean items labeled as “Machine Washable Wool” on the garment care label. Pre Soak and Deep Clean options are not available in this cycle.

When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulins (tarps) or waterproof or water-resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have.

Soak

This cycle is preset for a 41-minute cycle and soak time can be adjusted according to your needs by selecting Soil Level. After the selected soak period has ended, the washer will drain but does not spin the load.

NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing is not part of the soak cycle.
