Selecting a cycle and time

Use the information in this section to help you make the best cycle selections for your wash
loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabrics and soil levels.
•
The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.
•
Refer to page 8 to help you understand what happens during a wash cycle.
Super Wash cycle
Automatically prewashes the load and
advances into the REGULAR cycle (the
washer does not have to be reset after the
SUPER WASH cycle).
• Use the 6-minute cycle for heavily-soiled
loads that need maximum soil removal.
•
Use the 2-minute cycle for moderately-
soiled loads that need extra soil removal.
NOTE: For proper cleaning, use double the
amount of detergent recommended for the
load size.
Regular cycle
Features the Gentle Wash system and high
spin speeds to shorten drying time.
•
Use the 14-minute Heavy cycle to clean
sturdily-constructed cotton and linen fabrics
that are heavily soiled.
•
Use 10 minutes of wash time to clean
sturdily-constructed cotton and linen fabrics
that are moderately soiled.
