heavily soiled loads. Wash combines high speed agitation and
high spin speeds.
•
Use the Super or Regular settings for heavily soiled and
sturdy fabrics.
•
Use the Short setting for light soil and delicate fabrics.

cycle uses high-speed
agitation and a high spin speed. 2nd
Rinse is also helpful for clothes that you want to rinse and spin
only.
Normal
This cycle features medium agitation for cleaning cottons and
linens, and high spin speeds to shorten drying time. For lightly
soiled cotton and linen fabrics, use the shortest time setting.
Permanent

Select up to 9 minutes of wash time. Wash combines fast and
slow speed agitation and slow spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.
•

When the timer reaches Pause, the washer will drain and
pause for approximately
2 minutes while some of the
wash water is drained and replaced with rinse water.

agitation for gentle soil removal
from delicate items. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Use
this cycle to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.

short soaks to gently clean special-care items. Low spin speeds
minimize wrinkling. Wash small loads. 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 washer. Pull out
the Cycle Control knob to restart the washer.
