ULTRA HAN DWASH
Use this cycle for garments labeled "Hand Wash" and special
care items. Gentle cleaning starts with a continuous spray of
water and detergent mixture as the load is spun at extra-low
speed. This lasts for about 1 minute and is followed by a brief
period of extra-low wash action. Low/medium
spin speed helps
reduce wrinkling.
Garments
are labeled "Hand Wash" because:
•
The fiber construction
may be sensitive to wash action.
•
The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
•
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments
such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items, particularly wool, naturally
shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items
labeled "Hand Wash." Items that shrink should be dried flat.
When still wet, block these items by gently stretching to original
measurements.
EXPRESS WASH
Use this cycle for small, lightly soiled loads that are needed in a
hurry. Fast cleaning starts with a continuous spray of water and
detergent mixture as the load is spun at extra-low speed, followed
by a brief period of low/medium speed wash action. High spin
speed reduces drying time.
WOOL/SILK
Use this cycle for washable items that are normally dry cleaned.
Cycle combines extra-low speed spray cleaning and wash action
to provide gentle care for delicate items, such as machine
washable wool sweaters and silk blouses. Low spin speed helps
garments maintain their shape.

After you have loaded the washer, selected the cycle, options
and modifiers and you have pressed START, your washer does
the following:
Distributes the load
•
Load is initially fluffed to distribute the load before water is
added.
Fills
•
Water enters through the dispenser to mix with the detergent.
Water continues to be added until the load is soaked and just
enough water is present to maintain the spray. This way of
washing and rinsing uses less water and makes the detergent
more effective in cleaning your clothes. As a result, you will
see only a wet load and not a full tub of water, if you open the
lid.
Washes
•
As the washer continues to fill, a low-speed spin begins and
the detergent/water
mixture is sprayed onto the load.
•
The spinning stops and the CALYPSO ®wash motion begins,
while the wash water continues to be sprayed onto the
moving load. The length of wash depends on the cycle and
wash time selected.
•
The CALYPSO _ wash motion features five wash speeds in
combination
with low-speed spin sprays for a variety of fabric
care needs.
•
Liquid chlorine bleach is dispensed in the last 2 to 3 minutes
of the wash cycle to help ensure the best cleaning results.
•
The wash water is then drained and spun out before rinsing
begins.
