Super Wash cycle

(on 7-cycle models)

The Super Wash cycle (18 minutes) features an extended wash time for washing heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil removal.

For improved cleaning, use twice the amount of detergent recommended for a wash cycle.

Cottons Cycle

The Cottons cycle features high agitation and longer spin speeds to shorten drying time. Use this cycle for cleaning sturdily-constructed cotton and linen fabrics.

On the 7-cycle model, select 10 or 14 minutes of wash time, depending on whether your wash load is lightly or moderately soiled.

On the 5-cycle model, use 14 minutes of wash time.

Permanent Press Cycle

The Permanent Press cycle features high agitations, a cool-down rinse and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling. Use 10 minutes of wash time to clean permanent press and some synthetic fabrics that are moderately soiled.

Delicates Cycle

The Delicates cycle features a reduced agitation speed for gentle soil removal, and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling. Use this 8-minute cycle to clean delicate items and washable knits that are lightly to moderately soiled.

Soak Cycle

The Soak cycle features brief periods of agitation and soak time. Use this 30-minute cycle to remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment. Use warm water when soaking laundry. (Hot water can set stains.) Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive recommended by manufacturer.

When soaking with color safe bleach, you may extend the soak cycle for up to 2 hours by lifting the lid.

When using liquid chlorine bleach, never extend the soak cycle. Prolonged soaking with liquid chlorine bleach may damage clothes.

When soaking with detergent alone, soak for at least 5 minutes.

When the Soak cycle ends, add detergent and set a new wash cycle.

NOTE: During the agitation and soak time, the wash Cycle Status light will be on.
