CHOOSING YOUR CYCLES
(Cycle Selection Pads)
Use this control to choose the right
wash cycle for the type of fabrics you
are washing.
For improved fabric care at water
levels below MEDIUM, the wash
action will automatically change.
This change will happen in every
cycle except HEAVY DUTY and
EXTRA DELICATE.
• For most loads, use the time recom-
mended in the PRESET MEMORY.
• For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics,
use the full time.
• For light soil and delicate fabrics,
use less time.
HEAVY DUTY
Use this cycle to get between 6 and 14
minutes of wash time for loads of sturdy,
colou_ast fabrics such as work clothes
and ,diapers. Cycle combines fast speed
agitation and fast spin speeds.
REGULAR
Use this cycle to get between 6 and 14
minutes of wash time for normally soiled
cottons and linens. Cycle combines slow
speed agitation and fast spin speeds.
PERMANENT PRESS
The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle
includes a load cooling process
that reduces wrinkling compared
to other cycles,
You can select 6 to 10 minutes of wash time
for use with no-iron fabrics, sport shirts,
blouses and cotton slacks. The first 2
minutes of the wash cycle have fast speed
agitation followed by the remainder at slow
speed. Next, the washer will drain and
pause for no more than two minutes while
some of the wash water is drained and
replaced with rinse water, For maximum
benefit in reducing wrinkles, do not use the
WARM RINSE Option.
The cycle is completed with a deep rinse at
fast speed agitation with '%tepped" spin
speeds (spins start at an extra-slow speed
ancl gradually move to slow speed before fin-
ishing at a fast speed to reduce wrinkling).
DELICATE
Use this cycle to get between 4 and
8 minutes of slow speed agitation for
delicate fabrics and bulky knits that
wrinkle easily. The agitation is followed
by a deep rinse and a slow spin speed.
EXTRA DELICATE
Use this cycle to get 4 to 6 minutes
of extra-slow speed agitation for sheer
fabrics and lingerie. The agitation is
followed by a deep rinse and a slow
spin speed.
HAND WASHABLES
Use this cycle to get 4 to 6 minutes
of wash time for hand washable and
special-care items. Garments are
labeled "Hand Wash" because:
° The fiber or construction may be
sensitive to agitation.
• The fabric contains sensitive dyes
that may bleed.
The wash action mirrors the way you
would treat hand washable garments in
a sink. It does this by repeating periods
of extra-slow speed agitation (10 sec-
onds) and soaking (20 seconds). Slow
spin speeds help reduce wrinkling. Do
not use HAND WASHABLES for large
items like blankets. To protect fabrics,
bleach is not dispensed during the
HAND WASHABLES Cycle.
NOTE: Some "HAND WASH" items,
particularly wool, naturally shrink
when washed either in the sink or in
the washer HAND WASHABLES Cycle.
Keep this in mind when you purchase
items labeled "HAND WASH'.' Items
that shrink should be dried flat. Block
these items by gently stretching to
original measurements.
