OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Selecting a cycle and time

Use the information in this section to help you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabrics and soil levels.

The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.

Refer to page 8 to help you understand what happens during a wash cycle.

Super Wash cycle

 

 

Permanent Press cycle

Automatically prewashes the load and advances into the REGULAR cycle (the washer does not have to be reset after the SUPER WASH cycle).

Use the 6-minute cycle for heavily-soiled loads that need maximum soil removal.

Use the 2-minute cycle for moderately- soiled loads that need extra soil removal.

NOTE: For proper cleaning, use double the amount of detergent recommended for the load size.

Regular cycle

Features the Gentle Wash system and high spin speeds to shorten drying time.

Use the 14-minute Heavy cycle to clean sturdily-constructed cotton and linen fabrics that are heavily soiled.

Use 10 minutes of wash time to clean sturdily-constructed cotton and linen fabrics that are moderately soiled.

Features the Gentle Wash system, a cool- down rinse, and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.

Use 6 to 10 minutes of wash time to clean permanent press and some synthetic fabrics that are lightly soiled to moderately soiled.

Delicate cycle

Features a brief wash cycle and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.

Use this cycle to clean delicate items and washable knits that are lightly soiled to moderately soiled.

Soak cycle

Features brief periods of agitation and soak time to help remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment.

Use up to 20 minutes of soak time, depending on soil level.

Use warm water when soaking laundry. (Hot water can set stains.) See pages 14-16 for stain removal information.

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

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