Selecting a cycle and time
This section illustrates and describes the
wash cycles you can select with the Cycle
Control Knob. Use this information to help
you make the best cycle selections for
your wash loads. Each cycle is designed for
different types of fabrics and soil levels.
Normal cycle
The Normal cycle feature high agitation and
longer spin speeds to shorten drying time.
Use this cycle for cleaning cotton and linen
fabrics. Select 8, 12, or 14 minutes of wash
time, depending on whether your load is
lightly, moderately, or heavily soiled.
Select the 18-minute Extra Heavy
feature to wash heavily soiled loads that
need maximum soil removal. Use two times
the amount of recommended detergent for
this cycle.
Permanent Press cycle
The Permanent Press cycle features a cool-
down rinse and low spin speeds to reduce
wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning perma-
nent press and some synthetic fabrics. Select
10 or 8 minutes of wash time, depending on
whether your wash load is moderately or
lightly soiled.
NOTE:
The 8-minute Permanent Press
wash cycle is indicated on your control panel
with a dot only, next to the 10-minute cycle.
