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.

These pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal washer
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.
Normal cycle
The Normal cycle features high agitation and spin speeds
to shorten drying time. Use this cycle for cleaning cotton
and linen fabrics. Select 6, 10, or 14 minutes of wash time,
depending on whether your load is lightly, moderately, or
heavily soiled.
Permanent Press cycle
The Permanent Press cycle features a cool-down rinse
(pause) and low spin speeds to reduce wrinkling. Use this
cycle for cleaning permanent press and some synthetic
fabrics. Select 8 or 10 minutes of wash time, depending on
whether your wash load is lightly or moderately soiled.
NOTE: The 8-minute cycle is indicated on your control
panel with a dot only, directly below the 10-minute cycle.
Delicates cycle
The Delicates cycle features a reduced agitation speed for
gentle soil removal. Low spin speeds reduce wrinkling.
Use this 8-minute cycle for cleaning lightly to moderately
soiled delicate items and washable knits.

washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse
and spin is needed.

any of the Rinse settings.

Drain and Spin
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some
heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess
water.

any of the Spin settings.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains,
