*The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure,
water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time
will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white
fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures
assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides
optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your
laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash
time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time. It also includes
Extra Rinse as a preset setting.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten
drying times.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends,
cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines
medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling
process to reduce wrinkling.

Quick Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments
that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, a shortened wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten
drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing
the wash time.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle
combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle
fabric care.
■ Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
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
in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washing machine. See "Cleaning Your Washer."
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash
drum.
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
Rinse & Spin is useful for:
■ Loads that need rinsing only.
■ Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash
load. The spin speed is preset to 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, handwashables, and
woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric
stress.

Normal Sounds

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 or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or 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. See "Troubleshooting."
