Casual Permanent Press cycle

A load cooling spray rinse reduces wrinkling. Use this 8- to 10-minute cycle for cleaning lightly to moderately soiled permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. Choose a slow spin speed control setting such as Delicate to help reduce wrinkling.

Whitest Whites cycle

Use this wash cycle for loads of white fabrics that need improved whitening. For the best soil and stain removal, select CATALYST® on the Cycle Selector Control knob and the Cotton/Heavy setting on the Fabric Select control knob. Bleach is recommended in this cycle to provide outstanding whitening. Wash time is approximately 20 minutes.

Auto Soak cycle

This cycle features agitation followed by soak time to help remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment. The washer will drain when the Auto Soak cycle ends. The Soak cycle should be followed by a Normal or Casual Permanent Press cycle with additional detergent.

NOTE: Hot water is not recommended for soaking. It may set some stains. If using the CATALYST® Cleaning Action, use of the Auto SOAK cycle is not needed.

SelectingWash/SpinSpeeds

This section describes the wash/spin speeds you can select with the Fabric Select control. Each speed setting is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.

Handwash/Wool speed

Use this speed setting for hand washable and special-care items. The wash action has repeating periods of extra-slow speed agitation and soaking. Slow spin speeds help reduce wrinkling.

NOTE: Do not use this cycle for large items such as blankets. Some “Hand Wash” items, particularly wool, naturally shrink when washed. When still wet, block these items by gently stretching to original measurements. Allow the items to dry flat.

Delicates speed

This speed setting is for lingerie and loosely knit items. Setting combines extra-low speed agitation for gentle soil removal and low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.

Knits/Blends speed

This speed setting is for washable knit fabrics and permanent press fabrics. Setting combines slow speed agitation for gentle soil removal and slow spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.

RinseandSpin

After using extra detergent in a cycle for heavily soiled clothes, or when washing special-care items, you may find that an extra rinse and spin is needed.

1.Set the controls for Load Size, Temperature, Extra Rinse (to On), and Fabric Select.

2.Push in the Cycle Selector Control knob and turn it to any of the Extra Rinse settings.

3.Pull out the Cycle Selector Control knob. The washer fills to the selected water level, agitates, drains, and spins.

Fabric Select knob

Quick Wash

This speed setting is for normally soiled cottons and linens. Setting combines slow-speed agitation and fast spin speeds to shorten drying time.

Cotton/Heavy speed

This speed setting is for sturdy or heavily soiled loads. Setting combines fast speed agitation and fast spin speeds. For best results, use this setting when the Cycle Selector Control knob is set on the CATALYST setting.

Casual/P. Press speed

This speed setting is for sturdy permanent press and synthetic fabrics. Setting combines fast speed agitation and slow spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.

ACCUWASH™TemperatureControlSystem

Your washer uses ACCUWASH™ temperature control system. The ACCUWASH™ feature maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at approximately 70ºF (21ºC). The warm wash is maintained at approximately 90ºF (32ºC).

NOTES:

Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on or the ACCUWASH™ feature will not work properly.

The wash and rinse water temperature for Hot/Cold are not regulated with the ACCUWASH™ feature.

SMARTBLEACH™ TimedBleachDispenser

The timed bleach dispenser automatically dispenses liquid chlorine bleach to the wash load at the appropriate time during the cycle to help ensure the cleanest and brightest loads. Bleach is dispensed into the wash load a few minutes after agitation begins in order to give the detergent time to achieve the best soil and stain removal.

NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach to your wash load. The dispenser is for liquid chlorine bleach only.
