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.
To change the preset cycle settings
Press the selector of each setting until the desired setting glows.
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.
