Wash Cycles
Choose Wash Cycles by turning the selector knob. The cycle
indicator light will glow when selected. Each cycle is designed for
different types of fabric and soil levels. The modifier indicator
lights, on the right-hand side of the panel, will change as cycles
are selected.
■
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (estimated cycle time),
Water Temperature and Spin Speed and may have preset
Options. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric
care for the selected cycle.
■
The preset settings will glow green to show the preselected
options and modifiers, and can be changed anytime before
START is selected. Not all Options and Modifiers are available
with all cycles. Available modifier selections will glow amber.
(To change settings after the cycle has started, select STOP
once, then select the desired settings. Select and hold START
[for approximately 1 second] to continue the cycle.)
Preset cycle settings
Each cycle has a preset Cycle Time, Water Temp, and Spin
Speed. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care
for the selected cycle. See chart.
To change the preset cycle settings
Press the selector of each available setting until the desired
setting glows green.
Express 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.
Handwash/Delicate
Use this cycle to clean hand washable items and ultra delicate
garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is
washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and spins with low-speed to
gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling.
■
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
infant socks.
■
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed
cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed
cycles.
Rinse & Spin
Use this cycle to rinse, drain, and spin your wash load. This cycle
combines fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired,
you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want
from the SPIN SPEED modifier.
Rinse & Spin is useful for
■
Loads that need rinsing only.
■
Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.
Drain & Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your
wash load. The spin speed is preset to 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 to avoid
fabric stress.
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 and steam, to
thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle
should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer” in the
“Washer Care” section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty
wash drum.
