Normal

Use this cycle to wash normally soiled cottons and linens. This

cycle combines medium speed tumbling and high speed spin.

Bulky Items

Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and

comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate

your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and low

speed spin only to maintain load balance.

Quick Wash

Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that

are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast speed tumbling, a

shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten

drying time.

Delicate/Casual

Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled

"Permanent Press" or "Wrinkle Free" or that indicate using a

"Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low speed

tumbling and low speed spin to reduce wrinkling.

Silk

Use this cycle to clean washable silk garments. (Check label

instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle

gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean

garments and minimize wrinkling. Because there is no spinning

action, garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end

of this cycle.

Wool

Use this cycle to clean machine washable woolen garments.

(Check the care instructions to make sure that garment is

washable.) This cycle features gentle tumbling and low speed

spin to provide optimum garment care.

Hand Washables

Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care

garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a

sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed

tumbling and soaking. Low speed spin reduces wrinkling.

Soak

Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on

fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water

followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal

distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum

movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without

spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.

Rinse/Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines

fast speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you

can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from

the SPIN SPEED modifier.

A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for

Loads that need rinsing only.

Adding fabric softener to a load.

Drain/Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your

wash load. The spin speed is preset to extra high. If desired, you

can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from

the SPIN SPEED modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and

woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to

avoid fabric stress.

Preset cycle settings

Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water

Temperature, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the

recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.

Normal Washer Sounds

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not

accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is

locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and

spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will

be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and

splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds

and pauses are part of normal washer operation.
