Knits & Delicates Cycle

Provides 6 minutes of wash agitation for the gentle care
of knit and delicate items.

Hand Wash

Provides 3 minutes of agitation for the gentle care of hand
washable items.

Soak & Prewash Cycle

Soak

• Use Soak to treat heavily soiled or stained items. Soak

provides 3 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of
soaking time. The load then advances into the
Prewash portion of the cycle.

• Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle. If desired, use bleach or a soaking
agent for colorfast items.

• The Soak water temperature is the same as the rinse
water temperature selected.

• Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.

Prewash

• Use Prewash when soaking is not necessary. Prewash

helps remove protein-based stains such as milk, grass
and blood. It also helps loosen soils before washing.
Prewash provides 3 minutes of wash agitation.

• Use the amount of detergent 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.

• Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.

Energy Saving Tips

• Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra

energy. Undersize loads waste energy.

• When small wash loads cannot be avoided,
use lower water levels.

• Select the appropriate cycle and time for each
load. Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.

• To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed
to remove more water from heavy items such
as towels and jeans.

• Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot
water washes to heavily soiled and white loads.
Use cold water for lightly soiled items and
rinsing.

• Operate the washer in early morning and
late evening when utility demands are low.

• Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid
rewashing.
