Wash Cycle Selector
A
The wash cycle controls the length and intensity of the washing process. The knob can be turned in either direction. Turning the
Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and reset the cycle to the new selection. Press Start to begin the
new cycle selection.
The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing. The chart is ranked from longest to shortest cycle
time and wash intensity. (Cycles vary by model.)
Power Clean - Uses more water than standard wash cycles. It is recommended for extra-large loads and heavily soiled clothes.
Cottons - For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
Permanent Press - For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits.
Delicates - For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil.
Quick Rinse - Rinses and spins non-soiled items where a rinse only is desired.
Spin Only - For draining the tub and spinning water out of clothes.

Tap Cold* uses incoming tap water, which can provide energy savings. For all other temperature selections, a mixture
of hot and cold water is used to achieve the ideal temperature for each temperature setting.
* Please note that some detergents do not fully dissolve in very cold water. If you experience this, it is
recommended you choose a setting other than Tap Cold.
