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.

NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual

Cycle.

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 extra high speed spin to shorten

drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for

this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum

temperature.

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 extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Sanitary

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled colorfast fabrics. This cycle

combines a very hot water temperature and fast-speed tumbling

to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is

recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF (49ºC)

to ensure proper performance during this cycle. Extra high speed

spin helps 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

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/Drain & Spin

This is a combined cycle. See below for detailed instructions on

each option.

Use this cycle to rinse, drain, and spin your wash load. 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/Drain & 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.

To use Drain & Spin setting

Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN cycle.

Press the 2ND RINSE button to deselect the rinse option.

Press START.

Handwash/Delicate

Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate 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. Garments will contain a

higher amount of water at the end of this cycle, because there is

no spinning action.

Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as

underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as

infant socks.

Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed

cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed

cycles.

Express 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 extra high speed spin to

shorten drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine

increasing the wash time.

Soak

Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots or stains on fabrics.

This cycle provides up to a 30-minute 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 stains. Drain without

spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.

Using the Soak Cycle: The Soak cycle provides a soak time with

warm or cold water followed by drain.

1. Add detergent only to the Main Wash compartment of the

dispenser drawer.

2. Press the SOAK button.

3. Choose the desired soak temperature.
