WHITEST WHITES

Detergent and bleach are dispensed at the proper time for the best possible performance.
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach sooner to the load than the other cycles for improved
whitening of heavily soiled white fabrics. The default motor speeds for agitation and spin are both high
speed. The preset wash time for this cycle is 10 minutes.

NORMAL

This cycle provides between 4 and 18 minutes of wash time for normally soiled cottons and linens.
This cycle combines high speed agitation with a step down to medium speed and high speed spin.
The preset wash time for this cycle is 10 minutes.

PERMANENT PRESS

The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle includes a load cool-down process that reduces wrinkling
compared to other cycles.
To begin the cool-down process, the washer will perform a ½ tub drain, pause, and then fill at the
selected rinse temperature. This cools the load before the first spin.
This cycle provides between 4 and 18 minutes of wash time for use with no-iron fabrics, sports shirts,
blouses and cotton slacks. This cycle includes a deep rinse at fast speed agitation with "stepped" spin
speeds (spins start at an extra-slow speed before finishing at a low speed to reduce wrinkling). The
preset wash time for this cycle is 8 minutes.
QUICK WASH
This cycle begins with a continuous spray of water and detergent mixture as the load is spun at low
speed. This is followed by 4 to 10 minutes of wash time for small, lightly soiled loads that need
refreshing. The preset wash time for this cycle is 4 minutes.

EXTRA DELICATE

This cycle provides between 4 and 18 minutes of extra-low speed agitation for sheer fabrics and
lingerie. The agitation is followed by a deep rinse and a slow spin speed. The preset wash time for this
cycle is 6 minutes.
HAND WASH
The wash cycle starts with a continuous spray of water and detergent mixture as the load is spun at
low speed. This is followed by a normal tub fill to the selected level. This is followed with between 4
and 18 minutes of wash time with intermittent periods of extra-slow agitation and soaking. The preset
wash time for this cycle is 4 minutes.
