Selecting a cycle, time, and temperature
Use the information in this section to help
you make the best cycle selections for your
wash loads. Each cycle is designed for
different types of fabrics and soil levels.

The washer pauses briefly throughout
each cycle. These pauses are normal for
washer operation.

Page 13 describes what happens during a
wash cycle.

Normal cycle
The Normal cycle features hot and warm
water, high agitation, and longer spin
speeds to shorten drying time. Select 10 or
14 minutes of wash time, depending on
whether your wash load is lightly or moder-
ately soiled.
Knits/Gentle cycle
The Knits/Gentle cycle features a brief soak
and reduced agitation speed for gentle soil
removal. Low spin speeds reduce wrinkling.
Use this cycle for cleaning delicate items
and washable knits.
Permanent Press cycle
The Permanent Press cycle features a cool-
down rinse, and low spin speeds to reduce
wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning perma-
nent press and some synthetic fabrics.

3.
