Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
normally soiled garments. This cycle combines fast speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten
drying times.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium speed tumbling, high speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle
combines low speed tumbling and low speed spin for gentle
fabric care.
Ultra Handwash
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a
sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra low
speed tumbling and soaking. Extra low speed spin reduces
wrinkling.
Extra Cycles
Extra Cycles can be chosen by selecting the button above the
desired cycle.

You can change the selection anytime before START is selected.
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast speed tumbling and high speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
Rinse/Spin is useful for
■ Loads that need rinsing only.
■ Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your
wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and
woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid
fabric stress.
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked and unlocked and during the washing, rinsing, and
spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will
be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and
splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds
and pauses are part of normal washer operation. (See
“Troubleshooting.”)
