To change the preset cycle settings
Press the selector of each available setting until the desired
setting glows green.
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.
NOTE: Stain Treat is a default option for this cycle. To ensure
best performance, the water is heated as the cycle progresses.
This gradual heating assists in the removal of organic soils such
as blood. Stain Treat must be turned off to change the modifiers.
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.
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.
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. This cycle takes approximately
50 minutes to complete and should not be interrupted. 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.
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.
