S
ELECTING A CYCLE AND TIME
(Two- and three-speed models)
Normal Cycle
The Normal cycle features high-speed agitation
followed by a brief period of low-speed agitation for
cleaning cottons and linens. High spin speeds
shorten drying time. Select 6 to 15 minutes of
wash time, depending on model, for loads that are
moderately or heavily soiled. For lightly soiled cot-
ton and linen fabrics, use the shortest time setting.
Super Wash
Select the 18-minute Super Wash feature to wash
heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil
removal. Use two times the recommended amount
of detergent for this cycle.
Permanent Press Cycle
The Permanent Press cycle starts with high-speed
agitation and then steps down to low-speed
agitation for cleaning permanent press blends and
synthetic fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this cycle
features a cool-down rinse and a low-speed final
spin. Select 4 to 10 minutes of wash time,
depending on model, to clean lightly to moderately
soiled loads.
Knits/Gentle or Short/Knits Cycle
The Knits/Gentle (or Short/Knits) 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 that are lightly, moderately or
heavily soiled.
Cycle options
(
models without a separate Water Temperature selector)
You may select different wash time and water
temperature combinations by first selecting the Water
Temperature and then turning to the new wash time.
For example, for 14 minutes of wash time in the
Normal cycle with Cold water:
1. Push in the Cycle Control knob, and turn it clock-
wise to the Cold setting.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob and allow washer
to fill.

Extra Delicate Cycle
The Extra Delicate cycle features an extra low speed
agitation for gentle soil removal from delicate items and
washable knits. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling.
Select this 6-minute cycle to clean light to moderately
soiled items.
Delicate Cycle
The Delicate cycle features an extra-low-speed agitation
for gentle soil removal from delicate items and washable
knits. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Select 3 to 6
minutes of wash time, depending on model, to clean
lightly to moderately soiled loads.
Hand Washables or Ultimate Care Cycle
The Hand Washables (or Ultimate Care) cycle, features
a series of brief, extra-low-speed agitations and short
soaks to gently clean special-care items. Low spin
speeds minimize wrinkling. Six-minute wash time cleans
lightly soiled hand washables. Wash small loads. If items
appear to be floating (due to trapped air), stop the
washer by pushing in the Cycle Control knob. Push
items down into the water. Restart the washer.
Quick Wash Cycle
The Quick Wash cycle features low agitation speed for
gentle soil removal, while providing shortened
wash/rinse, drain and spin times. High spin speed
shortens drying time. Use this 6-minute cycle with a low
water level and a warm wash for lightly soiled items
that you need in a hurry.
3. When washer has filled, push in and turn the
Cycle Control knob to 14 minutes of wash time.
4. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start washer.
