Operating Your Washer
Determine Proper Cycle
(Some cycles may not be included on your model)
Regular Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes,
towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will
depend on the type of fabric and the amount of
soil. For the best results when cleaning heavily
soiled items, use a longer wash time (15 minutes
maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash
time and spin out.
If available, use the Prewash setting for extra
heavily soiled items. During the PREWASH
setting, the washtub will fill with water, agitate for
a reduced period of time and spin out.
There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle –
Heavy, Normal and Light.
Permanent Press Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics.
The wash time selection will depend upon the type
of fabric and amount of soil.
There are two settings in the PERMANENT
PRESS cycle – Normal and Light.
Handwash/Delicate Cycle (on select
models only)
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on
this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended
(even for small loads) to allow the delicate items
to move freely through the water. More water
helps reduce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides
for a clean wash.
There are two settings in the HANDWASH/
DELICATE cycle – Normal and Light.
Delicate Cycle (on select models only)
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on
this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended
(even for small loads) to allow the delicate items
to move freely through the water. More water
helps reduce fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides
for a clean wash.
There is one setting in the DELICATE cycle –
Normal.
Hand Wash Cycle (on select models only)
Wash items usually washed by hand on this cycle.
A full tub of water is recommended (even for small
loads) to allow the delicate items to move freely
through the water. More water helps reduce
fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean
wash.
Soak/Prewash (on select models only)
Use for heavily soiled or stained clothing. During
the SOAK/PREWASH setting, the washtub will fill
with water, agitate for a reduced period of time,
pause for approximately 12 minutes, and spin out
to complete the cycle.
Extra Rinse (on select models only)
This optional setting is useful for detergent
sensitive skin. By pressing the “Extra Rinse”
button to “ON,” the REGULAR, PERMANENT
PRESS and HANDWASH/DELICATE cycles will
each provide an additional rinse.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons, read
