HEAVY DUTY

You may use this cycle to get up to 15 minutes of wash time.

You may use the Super or Regular settings for heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics. You should use the Short setting for lightly soiled fabrics.

2ND RINSE

You may use this cycle to add a second rinse to your wash load. 2nd Rinse is also helpful for clothes that you want to rinse and spin only.

NORMAL

You may use this cycle to get up to 15 minutes of wash time. This cycle features high spin speeds to shorten drying time. For lightly soiled cotton and linen fabrics, you should use the shortest time setting.

PERMANENT PRESS I

You may select up to 9 minutes of wash time. After the main wash, cold water is sprayed onto the load to cool the fabrics and help reduce wrinkling.

DELICATE

You may use this cycle to get up to 9 minutes of wash time. Provides gentle cleaning of lightly soiled delicate items.

HAND WASHABLES

You may use this cycle to wash small loads. If items appear to be floating (due to trapped air), stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle Control knob. Push items down into the washer. Close the lid. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to restart the washer.

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.

NOTE: You may also choose the 2nd Rinse cycle.

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.

Wash/Rinse Temp Control

You should select the wash/rinse water temperature based on the type of load you are washing. Always use the warmest wash water safe for the fabric and follow garment label instructions. The AUTO TEMP CONTROL (ATC) electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating the temperature of incoming hot and cold water.

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.

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.

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

This cycle may be used to complete drying if items are still damp after the automatic cycle. It is also useful for large loads that require a long drying time. You may choose up to 60 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.

WRINKLE GUARD® II

WRINKLE GUARD® II helps prevent wrinkles that form when clothes are not removed promptly at the end of a cycle.

WRINKLE GUARD® II periodically starts and stops the dryer, tumbling the load without heat for up to 45 minutes after the completion of an automatic cycle unless you open the dryer door.

During WRINKLE GUARD® II, the End of Cycle Signal will sound every 5 minutes unless the signal is turned off.

End of Cycle Signal Control

The End of Cycle Signal sounds when a cycle is complete. 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.

The End of Cycle Signal is selectable. If the signal is turned off, you will not hear WRINKLE GUARD® II sound every 5 minutes.

Dryer Rack

The dryer rack was shipped with your dryer. Remove and discard shipping blocks before use.

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).
