Cycle Selection (Con't)
Sport
This cycle is designed for small loads of lightweight, synthetic
apparel worn for working out, running, swimming, cycling,
tennis and similar activities when removal of light soil and
perspiration are important. Items will tumble occsionally as they
soak for 10 minutes. Reversing tumble wash action will
continue for 6 minutes followed by 3 rinses and a final spin.
For best results, select a detergent that contains enzymes and
the hottest wash water safe for the load. Add a detergant
booster, color safe bleach or odor eliminator with the detergent
if needed. Chlorine bleach should not be used on items
containing Lycra™. Fabric softeners reduce wicking and are
not recommended for garments made to pull moisture away
from the body.
Delicate
This cycle provides 10 minutes of gentle reversing tumble wash
action for knits and delicates, followed by 3 rinses and a final
spin. To protect your delicate items, a hot water wash is not
available. Extra Rinse is an available option.
Handwash
Select the Handwash Cycle for items labeled "Hand Washable".
Ten minutes of occasional tumbling are followed by 3 rinses and
a slow final spin. To protect your hand washables, a hot water
wash, Heavy Soil/Stain and Extra Spin are not available options.
Extra Rinse is an available option.
Soak
Use this cycle to soak heavily soiled and stained items before
washing. Only cold water is available with this cycle because
warmer water may set some stains. Add half the detergent
dose and a deterent booster, if desired, to the detergent
compartment. Six minutes of regular reversing tumble wash
action are followed by 30 minutes of occasional tumbling as the
load soaks. The water will drain out and the load will spin
slowly for several minutes. Follow Soak with a complete wash
cycle suitable for the load and a full detergent dose.
Drain/Spin
Use the Drain/Spin cycle as a follow-up to a No Spin selection or
anytime you want to drain water from the washer and spin out the
load. Select the spin speed appropriate to the load.
Rinse/Spin
Select Rinse Spin for loads that need a cold water rinse or to add
fabric softener that may have been omitted in a regular cycle. Add
the fabric softener to the dispenser chamber if desired. Select
the spin speed appropriate for the load.
Note: To change cycle, press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.

Cycle Settings

Turn the TEMP knob and press SPIN until the desired wash and
rinse water temperatures and final spin speed are selected. If the
water temperature combination is not appropriate for that cycle,
the status lights will blink and the signal will beep 3 times. Settings
cannot be changed after the cycle starts unless you pause the
program first. Adjustments to the cycle will automatically be re-
membered each time that cycle is used.
Wash / Rinse Water Temperatures
Select the wash and rinse water temperatures appropriate for
each load.
• Hot/Cold for heavily soiled, white/colorfast
cotton and perm press loads.
•
Warm/Cold for normally soiled, white/colorfast, cotton and
perm press loads.
•
Cold/Cold for lightly soiled, non-colorfast items, knits,
delicates and hand washables.
•
Warm/Warm for washable woolens.
Final Spin Speed
The suitable final spin speed for each cycle will automatically be
displayed. The speeds will vary from cycle to cycle. For example,
High Speed in the Normal cycle is much faster than High Speed in
the Handwash cycle. To change the final spin speed, press SPIN
until the indicator for the desired selection is lighted. If a spin
speed is not recommended for a cycle, it will not be displayed.
• Increasing spin speed will extract more water and decrease
drying time.
•
Decresing spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
•
Use NO SPIN to omit the final spin at the end of the cycle. The
load will be very wet. Remove items from wash drum to drip
dry or select DRAIN / SPIN to remove excess water at a more
convenient time.
Water Level
There is no need to select a water level. The washer automati-
cally adjusts the water level to the type and size of wash load.

Cycle Options

To select Heavy Soil/Stain, Extra Spin, Extra Rinse or Cycle Signal,
press OPTIONS until the light indicates the desired option. Then
press SELECT to add that option to the cycle. To delete an indi-
cated option, press SELECT again. To provide the best care for
your laundry items, all options are not available with every cycle.
Heavy Soil / Stain
Use this option to add approximately 2 minutes of wash time for
very soiled or stained loads.
Extra Rinse
Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove ex-
cess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads
or if household members have sensitive skin. Extra Rinse occurs
before the final rinse when the liquid fabric softner is dispensed.
Extra Spin
Use this option to add several additional minutes to the final spin at
the selected speed. This will improve water extraction and de-
crease drying time.
Cycle Signal
A signal will sound at the end of the cycle when the cycle signal
is selected.
