Preset cycle settings
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Wash Temp, and
Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric
care for the selected cycle. See chart.
To change the preset cycle settings
Press the selector of each available setting until the desired
setting glows green.
Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This
cycle combines a extra hot water temperature and fast speed
tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains.
It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF
(49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. High
speed spin helps shorten drying time.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and High speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and High speed spin to shorten
drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for
this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum
temperature.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a
load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual
Cycle.
Quick Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments
that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to
shorten drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine
increasing the wash time.
Handwash/Delicate
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a
sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed
tumbling and soaking. Low speed spin helps reduce wrinkling.
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
infant socks.
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed
cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed
cycles.
Rinse/Drain & Spin
This is a combined cycle. See below for detailed instructions on
each option.
Use this cycle to rinse, drain, and spin your wash load. This cycle
combines fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired,
you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want
from the SPIN SPEED modier.
A Rinse/Drain & Spin cycle is useful for
Loads that need rinsing only.
Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.
Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of
your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level.
Use with AFFRESH™ washer cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine
bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine.
This cycle should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer”
in the “Washer Care” section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the
washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an
empty wash drum.
Normal Washer Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and
spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will
be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and
splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds
and pauses are part of normal washer operation.
