WASH AND DRY CYCLE TABLE
The parameters outlined in this table are for reference purposes only. Actual cycle times and temperatures can vary.
Normal/Cotton is the standard wash program and is suitable to clean most normally soiled items. It is the most efficient program in terms of water and energy usage.
Important: Do not attempt to dry a full load of laundry. A half load is the maximum for all dry cycles
Note: The default display time is only the wash time. The drying time will display when a drying cycle is chosen.
DETERGENT
This appliance is designed for high efficiency powder detergent. It is recommended to use 1/4 to 1/2 of the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Remember to reduce the amount of detergent if the load is small or lightly soiled or if the water supply is very soft water.
There are three compartments in the detergent dispenser on the front of the appliance.
1. Main detergent compartment.
- Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.
- Powder or liquid detergent can be used.
2. Fabric softener compartment.
- This compartment holds liquid fabric softener that will be dispensed automatically during the final rinse cycle.
- Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
- Adding fabric softener is optional.
3. Pre-wash detergent compartment.
- Do not use more than 1/2 of the amount that is put into the main detergent compartment.
- Adding pre-wash detergent is optional and should only be used for heavily soiled loads
