Cycle Selection
For best results, follow the fabric care label directions
on items to be washed.
Prewash Cycle
The Prewash Cycle can be used to help remove
protein-based stains such as milk, grass or blood and
to help loosen soils before washing. During Prewash,
the washer will tumble the load for 6 minutes, drain,
spin and shut off. Use the amount of detergent and
other laundry products recommended for a normal
wash cycle.
The Prewash water temperature is the same as
the wash water temperature selected. To avoid
setting protein stains, select cold water.
This cycle should always be followed by a
complete wash cycle using the recommended
amount of detergent.
Regular Cycle
Up to 19 minutes of reversing tumble action for most
fabrics. Three rinses, a high-speed final spin, a pause
and a brief tumble complete the cycle.
Heavy Wash provides up to 19 minutes of
reversing tumble action for heavily soiled fabrics.
Wash provides up to 13 minutes of reversing
tumble action for normally soiled fabrics.
Perm Press Cycle
Up to 13 minutes of reversing tumble action for
cottons and blends with a no-iron Finish. Three rinses,
2 spins, a pause and a brief tumble complete the
cycle. Select Normal or Fast Final Spin as desired for
this cycle.
Delicates and Hand Washables Cycle
Up to 9 minutes of gentle tumble action for the
gentle care of knit, delicate and hand washable
items. Two rinses and 2 spins complete the cycle.
Select Normal or Fast Final Spin as desired for this
cycle.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
Note: There is no need to select a water level
because the washer automatically adjusts the
water level to the type and size of wash
load.
WASH]RINSE TEMPERATURE -This determines
water temperatures for washing and rinsing. For
example, the Warm/Cold setting provides a warm
water wash and a cold water final rinse. Warm Rinse
only available in Regular Cycle.
Note: Detergents are not as effective at wash water
temperatures below 65° F (18.3°C).
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures
for basic fabric types.

EXTRA RINSE - Use Extra Rinse when additional
rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent
from heavily soiled loads.
Select Extra Rinse YES to automatically
include an extra rinse in the Regular or Perm
Press cycle.
Select Extra Rinse NO to conserve water when
an extra rinse is not desired.
FINAL SPIN - There are two spin speed options
available for the Perm Press and Delicate cycles.
Normal is recommended for most loads,
especially hand washables and items which may
wrinkle easily.
Fast provides a faster spin speed to increase
water extraction and decrease drying time.
The following chart shows the speed selections
available.
