15
Cycles
Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle Control knob to the
desired cycle. 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 be changed anytime before START
is pressed. Not all options and modifiers are available with all
cycles. Available selections glow amber. (To change settings
after the cycle has started, press PAUSE/CANCEL once, then
select the desired settings. Press START to continue the
cycle.)
■
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed
cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent in slow-speed
cycles.
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 available setting until the desired
setting glows green.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten
drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for
this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum
temperature.
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-
spin speeds to maintain load balance.
Active Wear
Use this cycle to wash small loads of exercise wear such as
biking shorts, tank tops, running tights, and other performance
clothing. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and medium-
speed spin for gentle fabric care.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual
Cycle.
