*These times are for reference only and may not match your model exactly.
**Cycle time in minutes will appear in the display while you are making selections. The total cycle
time will appear, including an estimated time for drain and fill times, once Start is pressed.
NOTE: Load only to the top of the basket. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. See “Starting
Your Washer.”
IMPORTANT: When washing waterproof/water-resistant items such as plastic lined mattress
pads, shower curtains, tarps, jackets, or sleeping bags, select the lowest spin speed setting
available for the cycle and washer model being used.
Whites
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the proper time for improved whitening
of your heavily soiled white fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin
speed. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach must be used.
Super Wash
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and
high-speed spin. Stain Cycle is the default option for this cycle, but it can be turned off. See
“Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options.”
Bulky
Use this cycle to wash large items such as comforters, sleeping bags and blankets. This cycle
starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash
action and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance.
Sheets
Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases and towels. The wash action of this cycle is designed to
keep large items from tangling and balling up.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, drop items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Do not load items directly on the impeller for this cycle.
Normal
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. Cycle combines high-speed
wash action and high-speed spin.
When washing waterproof/water-resistant items such as plastic lined mattress pads, shower
curtains, tarps, jackets, or sleeping bags, select the lowest spin speed setting available for the
cycle and washer model being used.
Wrinkle Control
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business
clothes, permanent press and blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a low-
speed spin and a cool down process to help reduce wrinkling.
Colors/Jeans
Use this cycle for lightly soiled, dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as cotton that may be
susceptible to dye loss. Cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and high-speed spin.
For best results use cold or warm water.
Quick Wash
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads that are needed in a hurry. This short cycle
combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin for the optimal cleaning and
shortened dry times.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating “Machine Washable Silks” or
“Gentle” cycle on the care label. This cycle uses intermittent low speed wash action and low-
speed spin for optimal fabric care.
Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:
The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.
The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
Handwash
This cycle combines low-speed wash and low-speed spin action to clean items labeled as
“Machine Washable Wool” on the garment care label. Pre Soak and Deep Clean options are
not available in this cycle.
Soak
This cycle is preset for a 41-minute cycle and soak time can be adjusted according to your
needs by selecting Soil Level. After the selected soak period has ended, the washer will drain
but does not spin the load. At the end of Soak, the washer will drain and wait for a wash cycle
to be selected, to complete the cleaning process.
NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing is not part of the soak cycle.
Rinse & Spin
Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed spin. The time display will
include an estimate of how long it will take to fill and drain the washer.
When to use Rinse & Spin:
For loads that need rinsing only.
For completing a cycle after the power has been off.
