OPERATING YOUR WASHER
CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
Super Wash cycle
The Super Wash cycle automatically prewashes
the laundry and advances
into the Normal cycle. (The
washer does not need to be
reset after the Super Wash
cycle.) Use this cycle when
washing heavily soiled loads
that need maximum soil
removal. Use two times the
recommended amount of
detergent for this cycle.
Normal cycle
The Normal cycle feature high speed agitation.
High spin speeds shorten
drying time. Use 9 (Regular)
or 12 (Heavy) minutes of
wash time for cleaning
sturdy cotton and linen
fabrics that are moderately
or heavily soiled. On some
models, for lightly soiled
cotton and linen fabrics,
use the 6-minute (Softwash) setting.
Permanent Press cycle
The Permanent Press cycle starts with high agita-
tion and then steps to low.
To reduce wrinkling, this
cycle features a cool-down
rinse and a low speed final
spin. Use the Permanent
Press cycle for cleaning
permanent press and some
synthetic fabrics that are
lightly or moderately soiled.
Delicates cycle
The Delicate cycle features a reduced agitation
speed for gentle soil
removal. Low spins reduce
wrinkling. Use this 6-minute
cycle for cleaning delicate
items and washable knits
that are lightly or moderately
soiled.
Hand Washables cycle
(on some models)
The Hand washables cycle features brief low
speed agitation and soak
time (2 seconds agitation,
28 seconds soak) which is
repeated for six minutes.
Low spin speed reduces
wrinkling. Use this cycle for
cleaning lightly soiled hand
washables.
Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:
•
The fibre 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 directions 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 washer. Restart
the washer.
Soak cycle
(on some models)
The Soak cycle features a brief period of agitation
and soak time to help
remove heavy soils and
stains that need pretreat-
ment. The soak period will
continue as long as you like.
Thirty minutes or less is
recommended for most
situations.
•
Use warm water when soaking laundry. Hot
water can set stains.
•
Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
When you have decided to end the Soak cycle,
turn the Cycle Control Knob to Spin.
•
Next, add detergent and start a new wash cycle.
