Cycle Selection
(continued)
Knits & Delicates Cycle
Provides 6 minutes of wash agitation for the gentle care
of knit and delicate items.
Hand Wash
Provides 3 minutes of agitation for the gentle care of hand
washable items.
Soak & Prewash Cycle
Soak
• Use Soak to treat heavily soiled or stained items. Soak
provides 3 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of
soaking time. The load then advances into the
Prewash portion of the cycle.
• Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle. If desired, use bleach or a soaking
agent for colorfast items.
• The Soak water temperature is the same as the rinse
water temperature selected.
• Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Prewash
• Use Prewash when soaking is not necessary. Prewash
helps remove protein-based stains such as milk, grass
and blood. It also helps loosen soils before washing.
Prewash provides 3 minutes of wash agitation.
• Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle.
• The Prewash water temperature is the same as the
wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting
protein stains, select cold water.
• Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Extra Rinse Cycle
Use Extra Rinse to remove excess detergent from
heavily soiled loads. Extra Rinse provides 3 minutes
of rinse agitation, then a 9 minute spin.
• Select Extra Rinse YES to automatically include an
extra rinse at the end of the Whites/Regular cycle.
• Select Extra Rinse NO to conserve water when an
extra rinse is not desired.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE sets water temperatures
for washing and rinsing. Select wash water temperature
according to fiber content, soil level and type of detergent.
A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces
wrinkling
If a cold rinse is selected, the washer will fill
with cold water during rinse, followed by a cold
spray rinse during final spin. If a warm rinse is
selected, the washer will fill with cold water
during rinse, followed by a warm spray rinse
during final spin.

LOAD SIZE sets the amount of wash and rinse
water for the wash load. Select a water level
appropriate for the load size. There should be
enough water for items to move freely.

Energy Saving Tips

• Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra
energy. Undersize loads waste energy.
• When small wash loads cannot be avoided,
use lower water levels.
• Select the appropriate cycle and time for each
load. Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.
• To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed
to remove more water from heavy items such
as towels and jeans.
• Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot
water washes to heavily soiled and white loads.
Use cold water for lightly soiled items and
rinsing.
• Operate the washer in early morning and
late evening when utility demands are low.
