gentle tumbling and medium-speed spin to provide optimum
garment care.
Silk
Use this cycle to clean washable silk garments. (Check label
instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle
gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean
garments and minimize wrinkling. Because there is no spinning
action, garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end
of this cycle. CRADLE CLEAN

• Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
infant socks.
Hand Washables
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a
sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low-
speed tumbling and soaking. Low-speed spin reduces wrinkling.
• Use mesh garment bags as necessary.
Quick Wash

that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to
shorten drying time.

Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of
your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level.
Use with AFFRESH
TM
washer cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine
bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine.
This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Cleaning Your Washer"
in the "Washer Care" section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty
wash drum.

Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots of set-in stains on
fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water
followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal
distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum
movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin
assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-
speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for
• Loads that need rinsing only.
• Adding fabric softener to a load.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash
load. The spin speed is preset to extra high. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, hand washables, and
washable woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed
to avoid fabric stress.
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and spinning
process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary
pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash
and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal
washer operation.
You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all options are
available with all cycles. Available options will glow amber. Current
selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected
cycle, the light will not illuminate.
