Tips to Help You Select Settings
Regular Cycles
For most cottons, linens, and
work and play clothes. Longer
wash times plus an extra deep
rinse, spray rinse and spin
provide thorough washing and
detergent removal.
Permanent Press Cycle
For loads of synthetic
andor
delicate fabrics. A cold water
cooldown helps prevent set-in
wrinkles in permanent press
shirts, blouses, dresses and
similar apparel with normal soil.
Knits Cycle
A combination of agitation
and soak provides effective
polyester knits laundering.
An
early
and long spray rinse
cools down fabrics before the
washer reaches maximum spin
speed to help prevent
wrinkie setting.
Soak Cycle
Clothes activate in a soaking
agent for a short time, then the
water spins out. Washer turns
off at end of Soak Cycle—must
be reset for desired wash cycle.
