ELECTING A CYCLE
This section describes the available wash cycles
and will help you make the best cycle selections
for your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for
different types of fabric and soil levels.
Regular cycle
The Regular cycle features high-speed agitation for
maximum cleaning, and high-speed spins to short-
en drying time.
Select 10 minutes of wash time, with cold water,
to clean washable knits, cottons, permanent
press, and some synthetic fabrics that are lightly
soiled.
Select 12 minutes of wash time, with warm
water, to clean large loads of sturdily constructed
fabrics that are moderately soiled.
Select 16 minutes of wash time, with hot water,
to clean large loads of sturdily constructed
fabrics that are heavily soiled.
Permanent Press cycle
The Permanent Press cycle features a cool-down
rinse and shorter spins to reduce wrinkling. Use
this cycle for cleaning permanent press and some
synthetic fabrics that are lightly, moderately, or
heavily soiled. A warm wash will provide 8 minutes
of wash time. A hot wash will provide 10 minutes
of wash time.
