CYCLE SELECTOR (TIMER) CONTROL
(Estimated cycle time based on a full load with Regular Soil Level setting.)
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle for cottons and linens used regularly. For
maximum soil removal, you should set the Cycle Selector
(Timer) Control for the longest available time.
Normal / Casual
Select this cycle for synthetic fabrics such as dress shirts,
blouses, and slacks. The cycle will give you a load-cooling
spray rinse to reduce wrinkling.
Delicate
This cycle combines slow-speed agitation and slow-speed
spin to gently clean garments while reducing wrinkles.
Handwash
Use this cycle for special care items. This cycle features a
series of brief agitations and short soaks for the gentlest
cleaning and for minimal wrinkling.
SOIL LEVEL WITH TIME ADJUST
Use the Heavy Soil selection for loads that need
a more thorough cleaning. Use the Regular Soil selection
for garments that are normally soiled. Use Light Soil for
garments that are only lightly soiled or require a little care.
OPTIONS
One Rinse
This is the rinse at the end of each cycle.
Choose this option for an automatic 2nd rinse cycle.

2nd Rinse
A second rinse can be used to aid in improved removal of detergent
or bleach residue from garments. This option may be automatically
added to the wash cycle by setting the OPTIONS control to 2nd
Rinse anytime before the end of the cycle.
Rinse & Spin
Select this option if you think an extra rinse is needed. Set OPTIONS
Control to 2nd Rinse. You should then set the Cycle Selector (Timer)
Control knob to a 2nd Rinse setting.
Spin Only
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some fabrics
by removing excess water. Set OPTIONS Control (if available) to
One Rinse. You should then set Cycle Selector (Timer) Control
to a Spin setting.
