U
Ultimate Care* cycle
(Hand Washables)
The Ultimate Care (Hand Washables) cycle features
a series of brief, extra low-speed agitations
(7 seconds) and short soaks (12 seconds) to gently
clean special-care items. Low spin speeds minimize
wrinkling. Use 6 minutes of wash time to clean lightly
soiled hand washables.
Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:
•
The fiber or construction may be sensitive to
agitation.
•
The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
Properly sort and then use your Hand Washables
cycle for gentle washing. Follow care label direc-
tions for drying. Items that may shrink should be
dried flat. Block these items by gently stretching to
original measurements. Woolens tend to shrink
more the first time they are washed.
•
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 water. Restart the
washer.
Normal cycle
