Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed, and
may have preset options. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle.
The preset settings can be changed anytime before START is pressed. Not all options and
modifiers are available with all cycles. (To change settings after the cycle has started, press
PAUSE once, then select the desired settings. Press START again to continue the cycle.)
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
speed tumbling, longer wash time, and fast-speed spin to shorten drying time.
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.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash normally soiled cottons and linens. This cycle combines medium-
speed tumbling and high-speed spin.
Quick Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 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.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled "Permanent Press" or "Wrinkle
Free" or that indicate using a "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin to help reduce wrinkling.
Wool
Use this cycle to clean machine washable woolen garments. Check the care instructions to
make sure that garment is washable. This cycle features gentle tumbling and low-speed spin
to provide optimum garment care.
Handwash
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments
are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low-speed
tumbling and soaking. I.ow-speed spin helps reduce wrinkling.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a 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 set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
Clean Washer Cycle
Use this cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses
a higher water [eve[ in combination with Affresh
TM
washer cleaner and steam, to thoroughly
clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be interrupted. See Cleaning Your
Washer in the Washer Care section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle.
Rinse & Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra
high speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want
from the Spin Speed modifier.
A Rinse & Spin cycle is useful for:
• I.oads that need rinsing only.
• Adding fabric softener to a load.
Drain & Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is
preset to extra high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want
from the Spin Speed modifien
NOTE: I.oads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, hand washables, and washable woolens should
be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.
