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 best cleaning and shortened dry times.
Wool
This cycle combines low-speed wash and low-speed spin action
to clean items labeled as “Machine Washable Wool” on the
garment care label. Deep Clean option is not available in this
cycle.
Delicate/Handwash
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.
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.
Garments are labeled “Handwash” because:
The ber construction may be sensitive to wash action.
The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
Soak (on some models)
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.
NOTE: Automatic
bleach dispensing is not part of the soak cycle.
Rinse & Spin
Use this cycle 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
ll and drain the washer.

For completing a cycle after the power has been off.

light glows.

Drain & Spin
An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some
heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be
used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or completing
a cycle after a power failure.

1. Turn knob to DRAIN & SPIN until the Drain & Spin indicator
light glows.

Clean Washer

place garments or other items in the
washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an
empty wash tub.

An indicator light shows which Cycle, Modiers, and Options you

count down to the end of the cycle.

get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light
next to Light Soil Level illuminates. This is the shortest wash time
available for that cycle.
For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset
