happens during a wash cycle.
Cycle Control knob
Wash Temperature
Normal cycle
The Normal cycle features high-speed agitation followed
by a brief period of low-speed agitation for cleaning
cottons and linens. High spin speeds shorten drying times.
Select 6 or 9 minutes of wash time, depending on whether
your load is moderately or heavily soiled.
Super Wash/Heavy - Select the 15-minute Super Wash/
Heavy feature to wash heavily soiled loads that need
maximum soil removal. Use two times the amount of
recommended detergent for this cycle.
P. Press/Wrinkle Resist cycle
The P. Press/Wrinkle Resist cycle starts with high-speed
agitation and then steps to low-speed agitation for
cleaning permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. To
minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a cool-down rinse
and a low-speed final spin. Select 6 or 9 minutes of wash
time to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.
Delicates cycle
The Delicates cycle features low-speed agitation for gentle
soil removal from delicate items and washable knits. Low
spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning
lightly to moderately soiled loads.
Hand Washables cycle
The Hand Washables cycle features a series of brief, low-
speed agitations and short soaks to gently clean special-
care items. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. Use this
cycle for cleaning 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.
NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items, particularly wool,
naturally shrink when washed either in the sink or in the
Hand Washables cycle. Keep this in mind when you
purchase items labeled "Hand Wash".
Properly sort and then use your Hand Washables cycle for
gentle washing. 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 by pulling out the Cycle Control knob. Follow care
label directions for drying. Items that may shrink should be
dried flat. Block these items by gently stretching to original
measurements.
Quick Wash cycle
The Quick Wash cycle features a reduced agitation speed
for gentle soil removal, while providing shortened wash/
rinse, drain, and spin times. Use this cycle with a low
water level and a warm wash to quickly clean a few
lightly soiled items.
Rinse and Spin
When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or
washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse
and spin is needed.
1. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to
any of the Rinse settings.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer fills to the
selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.
NOTE: An EXTRA RINSE option is available (on some
models). See “Starting your washer.”
Drain and Spin
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some
heavy fabrics or special-care items by removing excess
water.
1. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to
any of the Spin settings.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer drains,
then spins.
