Provides gentle cleaning of lightly soiled delicate items.

PREWASH

You may use this cycle to get up to 4 minutes of high-speed
agitation to help remove heavy soils and stains that need
pretreatment. The Prewash cycle should be followed by the
Heavy Duty or Permanent Press I cycle with additional detergent.

Soak

This cycle adds 4 minutes of high-speed agitation followed
by a 12 minute soak time to help remove heavy soils and
stains that need pretreatment. The Soak cycle is
automatically followed by the Prewash cycle.

NOTE:

Hot water is not recommended for soaking. It may set

some stains.

RINSE AND SPIN

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or washing
special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is
needed. You may select any of the Rinse settings along with a
water level and temperature setting appropriate for the load you
are washing.

DRAIN AND SPIN

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy
fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water. You may
choose any of the Spin settings. The washer drains, then spins.

PERMANENT PRESS I

You may use this cycle to get up to 10 minutes of wash time.
After the main wash, cold water is sprayed onto the load to cool
the fabrics and help reduce wrinkling.

Water Temperature Control

You should select the wash/rinse water temperature based on the
type of fabric and soils you are washing. Always use the warmest
wash water safe for the fabric and follow garment label
instructions.

For the Warm/Cold/Warm Spray temperature selection, the warm
wash will be followed by an “Energy Saving” cold rinse followed
by warm spray rinses. This saves energy while providing an
effective rinse performance.

The Cycle Selector (Timer) Control may be set to NORMAL DRY,
which is good for most fabrics. At the end of the cycle you may
check the dryness of the load.

■

If the load is drier than you like, you may select a setting
closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

■

If a load is not as dry as you like, you may complete drying
using a Timed cycle. You may select a setting closer to More
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

TIMED DRY

Water Level Control

This control allows the water level to be adjusted to the size load
you are washing. Clothes should move freely. You may change to
a higher water level after agitating starts by turning the knob to
Reset, then to desired setting.

require a long drying time. You may choose up to 50 minutes of
heated drying time.

TOUCH UP

This cycle may be used to smooth clothes that are clean but
wrinkled from being crowded in a closet or suitcase. This setting
provides about 15 minutes of heated tumbling followed by a cool
down period of up to 10 minutes.

AIR DRY

This cycle may be used to get up to 20 minutes of drying time in
room temperature air.

End of Cycle Signal Control

The End of Cycle Signal is selectable and will sound when a cycle
is complete if set to Signal On. This signal is helpful when you are
drying permanent press, synthetics and other items that should
be removed from the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle.

Dryer Rack (Optional)

The dryer rack may be used to machine dry items you would not
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, sweaters). For ordering information, please call

AUTOMATIC CYCLES

Permanent Press/Normal or Knit/Delicate

Automatic Cycles may be used for most loads. These cycles give
the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies according
to the type of fabric, size of the load, and dryness setting.

Dryness is determined by the exhaust temperature of the dryer.
When the dryness selected is reached, the dryer goes into a cool
down period of up to 10 minutes for the Permanent Press/Normal
cycle or up to 5 minutes for the Knit/Delicate cycle.
