Selecting a Cycle and Time
This section describes the available wash cycles and will help
you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each
cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.
■
The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Sounds” to learn more
about the sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.
■
Refer to “Understanding Washer Cycles” to learn what
happens during a wash cycle.
NOTE:
This manual covers several different models. The washer
you purchased will not have all of the cycles described.
Casual/Planchado Permanente
(Casual/Permanent Press cycle)
This cycle features a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling of
permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. Select 6 to 10
minutes of wash time to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.
Lavado Rápido (Quick Wash cycle)
This cycle features low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal,
while providing high spin speeds to shorten drying times. Select
this cycle for small loads of lightly soiled items that you need in a
hurry.
Pre-Lavado (Pre-Wash cycle)
The Pre-Wash cycle features 4 minutes of agitation to help
remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment. This cycle
provides additional washing prior to the desired cycle. Because
the Pre-Wash cycle does not rinse, a new wash cycle should be
selected after the Pre-Wash cycle ends.
Normal cycle
This cycle features high-speed agitation for maximum cleaning,
and high-speed spin to shorten drying time. Select up to 14
minutes of wash time, depending on your model, to clean large
loads of sturdily constructed fabrics that are heavily soiled. For
lightly soiled cottons and linens, use the shortest time setting.
Delicado (Gentle cycle)
This cycle features a series of brief agitations and soaks, followed
by a short spin. Select up to 6 minutes of wash time to gently
clean special-care items that are lightly or moderately soiled.
Cycle Time and Temperature Options
Some models have the water temperature included in the cycle
selections of the Cycle Control knob.
Selecting different time and temperature combinations:
To select different wash time and temperature combinations, first
select the water temperature (Caliente [Hot], Tibio [Warm], or Frío
[Cold]), then turn to the new wash time. For example, for 14
minutes of wash time in the Normal cycle with Cold water:
1.
Push in the Cycle Control knob, and turn it clockwise to the
Frío (Cold) setting.
2.
Pull out the Cycle Control knob and allow washer to fill.
3.
When the washer has filled, push in and turn the Cycle
Control knob to 14 minutes of wash time.
4.
Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start washer.
Adding bleach to models without a bleach dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid chlorine bleach after the washer
starts agitating. Pour diluted bleach around the agitator, not
directly onto the load. Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it
touches. (See “Adding Liquid Chlorine Bleach.”)
Adding softener to models without a fabric softener
dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid fabric softener to the final rinse
water. Always dilute fabric softener with ½ to 1 cup
(125 to 250 mL) of warm water. Undiluted fabric softener can
stain fabrics. (See “Adding Liquid Fabric Softener.”)
