WASH CYCLES

Whitest Whites

This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at
the proper time for improved whitening of heavily soiled
white fabrics. The default option for this cycle is 2nd
Rinse.

Heavy Duty

This cycle is for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Stain Treat
is the default option for this cycle, but it can be turned off.
See “Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options” in the Use
and Care Guide.

Normal

This cycle may be used for normally soiled cottons and
mixed fabric loads.

Casual/Wrinkle Free

This cycle can be used to wash loads of no-iron fabrics
such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes,
permanent press and blends.

Express Wash

This cycle may be used to wash 1 or 2 lightly soiled items
that are needed in a hurry.

Bulky/Bedding

This cycle is designed for oversized items that do not
easily absorb water, such as comforters, pillows and
poly-filled jackets. Other items will create an unbalanced
load in this cycle.

Sheets/Towels

Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases and towels. The wash
action of this cycle is designed to keep large items from
tangling and balling up.

IMPORTANT: For best performance, drop items in loose
heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load items
directly on the impeller for this cycle.

Darks/Colors

This cycle may be used for dark or highly dyed natural
fabrics such as jeans or other cotton items that may be
susceptible to dye loss.

Delicate/Handwash

Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled special care garments
or for items labeled as “Machine Washable Wool or Silk.”
(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.

OPTIONS

Save Energy Plus

This option reduces wash and rinse water

temperatures to save energy while adding about

5 minutes of wash time to maintain performance. This

option is available on only the Heavy Duty and Whitest

Whites cycles and must be selected prior to starting

the washer.

2nd Rinse

An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of

detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option

provides an additional spray rinse with the same

water temperature as the first rinse.

Stain Treat

This option provides enhanced cleaning action for

tough stains, virtually eliminating the need to pretreat

them. Stain Treat should be started on a dry load

only.

Auto Soak/Prewash

Use these options for set-in stains and soils that need

extra time for removal. Press the Option button for Auto
Soak/Prewash until your desired choice is
lighted.

Auto Soak saturates the load with water and detergent

then pauses to allow the detergent to work on soils.

Prewash alternates between periods of wash action

and pauses.

Delay Start

You can use the Delay Start feature to delay the start of
a wash cycle for up to 13 hours (depending on your
model). The Start time will increase by 1-hour steps.
Once you have set the desired delay time, you must

press START. The delay time will then show in the

display.

Clean Washer - Not for Clothing

This special cycle uses higher water volumes in

combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly
clean the inside of the washing machine. The Clean
Washer cycle should be used once a month to
maintain washer freshness.

MODIFIERS

Soil Level

Soil level is preset for each cycle. As you press

the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes) will

increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining

display.

Spin Speed

This washer automatically selects the spin speed

based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can

be changed for most of the cycles.

Wash/Rinse Temp

Select a water temperature based on the type of load
you are washing. Use the warmest wash water safe

for fabrics.

OPERATING CONTROLS

This button turns the washer on or off.

Start

This button starts your washer after a cycle has been

Pushing this button once will pause the wash cycle
and unlock the lid, allowing you to add a garment.
