CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
Hand Washables
The Hand Washables cycle features a series of brief,
extra low-speed agitations (7 seconds) and short
soaks (13 seconds) 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.
Properly sort and then use your Hand Washables
cycle for gentle washing. Follow care label direc-
tions 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 water. Restart the
washer.
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.
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 moder-
ately 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
light to moderately soiled loads.
Delicates cycle
The Delicates cycle features an extra low speed
agitation for gentle soil removal from delicate items
and washable knits. Low spin speeds minimize
wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning light to
moderately soiled loads.
