Washing:
The HEAVY cycle is designed to wash
very soiled loads, the NORMAL cycle is
for average soiled loads and the LIGHT
cycle should be selected for slightly
soiled loads.
For Regular Fabric loads, turn the
control knob to 12 minutes for a Heavy
cycle; to 8 minutes for a NORMAL cycle;
and to 5 minutes for a LIGHT cycle.
The Superwash cycle (not on all
models) provides additional wash time
for regular fabric loads. It will add
approximately 6-8 minutes of agitation
to the cycle. To select, turn the control
knob to SUPERWASH.
For Permanent Press loads, turn the
control knob to 10 minutes for a Heavy
cycle; to 7 minutes for a NORMAL cycle;
and to 5 minutes for a LIGHT cycle.
For Delicates, turn the control knob to 8
minutes for a NORMAL cycle; and to 5
minutes for a LIGHT cycle.
The Quick Cycle (not on all models)
reduces the cycle time by using a 6
minute wash and a shorter first spin
and rinse. Total cycle time is approxi-
mately 16 minutes plus fill times. To
select, turn the control knob to start.
