Wash Cycles
The wash cycles are optimized for specific types of wash loads. The chart below will help you match
the wash setting with the loads. The GentleClean
™
lifters lightly tumble the clothes into the water
and detergent solution to clean the load.
WHITES For heavily to lightly soiled white cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
COLORS/NORMAL For heavy to lightly soiled colorfast cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
STAIN WASH For heavy soiled colorfast cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
EASY CARE For wrinkle-free and permanent press items.
(PERMA PRESS)
ACTIVE WEAR For active sports, exercise and some casual wear clothes. Fabrics include modern technology finishes and
fibers such as spandex, stretch and micro-fibers.
DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil. Provides gentle tumbling and soak during
wash and rinse.
HANDWASH For items labeled hand-washable with light soils. Provides gentle rocking to mimic the handwashing action.
WASHABLE For the washing of machine washable wool products, provided that they are washed according to the
WOOLS instructions on the garment label. When selecting this cycle, you must use a detergent suitable for
washing wool.
MY CYCLE Press to use, create or modify custom wash cycles.
SPEED WASH For lightly soiled items that are needed in a hurry. Cycle time is approximately 30 minutes, depending
on selected options.
DRAIN & SPIN Drain and spin at any time.
RINSE & SPIN To quickly rinse out any items at any time.
Soil Level
Changing the SOIL LEVEL increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil.
To change the SOIL LEVEL, press the SOIL LEVEL button until you have reached the desired
setting. You can choose between Extra Light, Light, Normal or Heavy soil.
Spin Speed
Changing the SPIN SPEED changes the final spin speed of the cycles. Always follow the fabric
manufacturer’s care label when changing the SPIN SPEED.
To change the SPIN SPEED, press the SPIN SPEED button until you have reached the desired
setting. Higher spin speeds are not available on certain cycles, such as Delicates.
Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may
also increase the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics.
Wash Temp
Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the wash cycle. The prewash and rinse water is
always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and wrinkles.
Follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when selecting the wash temperature.
To change the wash temperature, press the WASH TEMP button until you have reached the desired
setting. The Sanitized wash temperature is not available on certain cycles, such as Delicates.
When selecting the Sanitize wash temperature, the washer increases the water temperature to
sanitize and kill more than 99% of many common bacteria found in home laundry. The sanitize
wash temperature is only available on Stain Wash and Whites Wash cycles. For best results, select
the heavy soil setting when using the Sanitize wash temperature setting.
NOTE: The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the fabric and
preventing stains from setting on garments.
START/PAUSE
Press to start a wash cycle. If the washer is running, pressing it once will pause the washer and
unlock the door. Press again to restart the wash cycle.
NOTE: If the washer is paused and the cycle is not restarted within 2 hours, the current wash cycle will be cancelled.
NOTE: The washer performs automatic system checks after pressing the START button. Water will flow
in 45 seconds or less. You may hear the door lock and unlock before water flows; this is normal.
