HAND WASHABLES
AUTOMATIC CYCLES
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.
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.
