Permanent Press II cycle
This cycle will give you up to 9 minutes of wash time. When the
timer reaches Pause, the washer will drain and replace half of the
wash water with fresh cold water to help reduce wrinkling.
Ultra Clean cycle
Select this cycle for cottons and linens used regularly. This cycle
provides up to 15 minutes of wash time.
Prewash cycle
This cycle helps to remove heavy soils that need pretreatment.
This cycle should be followed by a wash cycle. Add more
detergent to the wash cycle. The Prewash cycle does not include
a rinse.
Auto Soak cycle
This cycle features agitation followed by unlimited soak time to
help remove stains that need pretreatment. After soaking, you
have two options. To use the same water in a wash cycle,
advance the Cycle Selector (Timer) Control knob to a wash cycle.
To remove the soak water, reset the washer to a Spin setting. If
the Soak water was drained, add more detergent to the wash
cycle. If the Soak and Prewash option is selected, the soak time
will be 20 minutes. Prewash drains but does not rinse and should
be followed by a wash cycle. Add more detergent to the wash
cycle.
Express Wash
Use this cycle to refresh 1 or 2 items you need in a hurry. This
cycle provides up to 3 minutes of wash time. Select a low water
level to shorten the wash cycle and a high-speed spin to
minimize drying time.
Hot Prewash
This cycle uses wash water from the hot inlet faucet only to help
loosen heavy soils and stains that would normally benefit from
the use of hot water. Use this cycle only for loads when hot water
wash is recommended on the garment care label. Add detergent
to this cycle according to detergent manufacturer
recommendations. Hot Prewash drains but does not rinse and
should be followed by a wash cycle. Add more detergent to the
wash cycle.
Select this option if you think an extra rinse is needed. Set
Options Control (if available) to One Rinse. You should then set
the Cycle Selector (Timer) Control knob to a Rinse setting.
