CYCLES
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.
The washer pauses
■
briefly throughout
each cycle. These
pauses are normal.
Refer to "Normal Sounds"
for sounds you may
hear during a wash cycle.
Refer to "Understanding Washer Cycles" to learn what happens
■
during a wash cycle.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle for sturdy or heavily soiled loads. The wash
combines fast-speed agitation and fast spin speed.
Select cycle agitation time (8, 10, or 12 minutes); choose more
■
time for heavily soiled, sturdy fabrics and less time for lightly
soiled, sturdy fabrics.
Casual
The Casual cycle includes a load-cooling process that reduces
wrinkling. The wash combines fast- and slow-speed agitation and
slow spin speed.
Part way through the cycle, the washer will pause for
approximately 2 minutes while some of the wash water is drained
and replaced with rinse water.
Delicates
Use this cycle for lingerie and loosely knit items. Part way through
the cycle, the washer pauses and soaks the load for gentler care
of lightly soiled delicate items. The wash combines slow speed
agitation for gentle soil removal and slow spin speed to reduce
wrinkling.
24
Soak
The Soak cycle features 4 minutes of agitation followed by an
unlimited soak time to help remove heavy soils and stains that
need pretreatment. You will need to reset the washer to a Spin
setting to remove water.
The Soak cycle should be followed by the Heavy Duty,
■
Casual, or Prewash cycle with additional detergent.
NOTE: Hot water is not recommended for soaking. It may set
some stains.
Prewash
Use this cycle to get up to 4 minutes of agitation to help remove
heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment.
The Prewash cycle should be followed by the Heavy Duty or
■
Casual cycle with additional detergent.
RINSE AND SPIN
When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or when
washing special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin
is needed.
Push in the CYCLE CONTROL knob and turn it clockwise to any
■
of the RInse settings.
• For fast agitation and spin, use the Heavy Duty cycle.
• For slow agitation and spin, use the Casual cycle.
Set SOIL LEVEL and WASH TEMP controls to the desired
■
setting.
Pull out the CYCLE CONTROL knob. The washer automatically
■
fills to the correct load size, agitates, drains, and spins.
DRAIN AND SPIN
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy
fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.
Push in the CYCLE CONTROL knob and turn it clockwise
■
to any of the Spin settings.
• For a fast spin, use the Heavy Duty cycle.
• For a slow spin, use the Casual cycle.
Pull out the CYCLE CONTROL knob. The washer drains,
■
then spins.
