Cycles may vary with model
Regular cycle
The Regular cycle features high speed agitation.
High spin speeds shorten drying time. Use 6 (Light)
or 12 (Normal) minutes of wash time for cleaning
sturdy cotton and linen fabrics that are moderately
or heavily soiled.
Super Wash – The Super Wash cycle
automatically prewashes the laundry and advances
into the Normal cycle. Use this cycle when washing
heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil
removal. Use two times the recommended amount
of detergent for this cycle.
Permanent Press
Use the Permanent Press cycle for cleaning
permanent press and some synthetic fabrics that
are lightly or moderately soiled.
1-speed models – The Permanent Press cycle
features a cool-down rinse to reduce wrinkling.
2-speed models – The Permanent Press cycle
starts with high agitation and then steps to low.
To reduce wrinkling, this cycle features a
cool-down rinse and a low speed final spin.
Delicate cycle
(on some models)
The Delicate cycle features a reduced agitation
speed for gentle soil removal. Low spins reduce
wrinkling. Use this 6-minute cycle for cleaning
delicate items and washable knits that are lightly
or moderately soiled.

Woollens cycle
(on some models)
The Woollens cycle features a reduced agitation
speed for gentle soil removal. Select warm wash
and warm rinse water when using this cycle. Use
this 4-minute cycle for washable woollens and
knits that are lightly soiled.
Hand Washables cycle
(on some models)
The Hand Washables cycle features a brief period
of low speed agitation and soak time (2 seconds
agitation, 28 seconds soak) which is repeated for
six minutes. Low spin speed reduces wrinkling.
Use this cycle for cleaning lightly soiled hand
washables.
Garments are labeled "Hand Wash" because:
•
The fibre or construction may be sensitive to
agitation.
•
The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may
bleed. Properly sort and then use your Hand
Washables cycle for gentle washing. Follow care
label directions for drying. Items that may shrink
should be dried flat. Block these items by gently
stretching to original measurements. Woollens
tend to shrink more the first time they are
washed.
•
If items appear to be floating due to trapped air,
stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle Control
knob. Push items down into the water. Restart
the washer.
Soak cycle
(on some models)
The Soak cycle features a brief period of agitation
and soak time to help remove heavy soils and
stains that need pretreatment. The soak period will
continue as long as you like. Thirty minutes or less
is recommended for most situations.
•
Use warm water when soaking laundry. Hot
water can set stains.
•
Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
When you have decided to end the Soak cycle,
turn the Cycle Control knob to Prewash or Spin.
•
Next, add detergent and start a new wash cycle.
