Wash Cycles

Choose Wash Cycles by rotating the Cycle selector knob to the
desired cycle. The indicator light for the cycle selected will
illuminate. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and
soil levels.
■Each cycle has a preset cycle time, WASH TEMP, SPIN
SPEED, and may have preset Options. The preset settings
provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle.
■The preset settings can be changed anytime before START is
selected. Not all Options and Modifiers (WASH TEMP, SPIN
SPEED) are available with all Cycles. To change settings after
the cycle has started, select PAUSE/CANCEL, then select the
desired settings. Select and hold START (for approximately
1s econd) to continue the cycle.

Preset Cycle Settings

Each cycle has a preset Cycle Time, WASH TEMP, and SPIN
SPEED. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric
care for the selected cycle. See chart.
*The cycle times vary automatically based on your water
pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The
cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is
unbalanced.

Sanitary

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This
cycle combines a super hot water temperature and fast speed
tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains.
It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF
(49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The
Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common
infectious bacteria, even when no bleach is used. High-speed
spin helps shorten drying time.

Whitest Whites

This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time. It also
includes Extra Rinse as a preset setting.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
Heavy soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten
drying times.

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

Quick Wash

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.

Delicate/Hand Wash

Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics, lingerie, hand washable,
and special-care garments. This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle fabric care.
■Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.

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 to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washing machine. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty
wash drum.
