*Cycle time in minutes will
appear in the display while you are
making selections. The total cycle time will appear, including an
estimated time for drain and fill times, once Start is pressed.
NOTE:
Load only to the top of the basket. Overloading can cause
poor cleaning. See “Starting Your Washer.”
Whitest Whites
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the
proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white
fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin. The default option setting for this cycle is Extra Rinse to
thoroughly remove detergent and bleach. For maximum soil and
stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach should be used.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle for heavily soiled cotton or sturdy items. Cycle
combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Deep
Clean is the default option for this cycle, but it may be turned off.
See “Changing Cycles, Modifiers, and Options.” Extra Rinse
Cycle may be desired for heavily soiled clothes.
Normal
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and linens, such as
sheets, blankets, and towels. This cycle combines high-speed
wash action and high-speed spin.
Casual/Perm Press
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press, and
blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a medium-
speed spin and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling.
Colors/Darks
Use this cycle for dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as jeans
or other cotton items that may be susceptible to dye loss. This
cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and high-speed
spin. For best results use cold or warm water.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating “Machine
Washable Silks” or “Gentle” cycle on the care label. This cycle
uses low-speed wash action and low spin speeds for increased
fabric care and less wrinkling.
When washing waterproof items, su
ch as plastic-lined mattress
pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps), or waterproof or water-
resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Hand Wash/Wool
cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer
model that you have.
Hand Wash/Wool
Use this cycle to clean lightly soiled special care garments or for
items labeled as “Machine Washable Wool.” (Check label
instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) This
cycle uses intermittent-low speed wash action and low-speed
spin for the gentlest fabric care with less wrinkling.
When washing waterproof items, su
ch as plastic-lined mattress
pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps), or waterproof or water-
resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Hand Wash/Wool
cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer
model that you have.
Garments are labeled “H
andwash” because:
■ The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.
■ The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
NOTE: Some “Hand wash” items naturally shrink
when washed.
Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled “Hand wash.”
Items that shrink should be dried flat. When these items are still
wet, “block” them by gently stretching to the original
measurements.
Rinse & Spin
Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed spin.
The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take to
fill and drain the washer.
When to use Rinse & Spin:
■ For loads that need rinsing only.
■ For completing a cycle after the power has been off.
To use or change Rinse & Spin setting:
1. Turn knob to RINSE & SPIN until the Rinse & Spin indicator
light glows.
2. Pr
ess START.
Drain & Spin
An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some
heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be
used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or completing
a cycle after a power failure.
To use or change Drain & Spin setting:
1. T
urn knob to DRAIN & SPIN until the Drain & Spin indicator
light glows.
2. Pr
ess START.
