Cycle Selection
For best results, follow the fabric care label
directions on items to be washed.
Prewash Cycle
The Prewash Cycle can be used to help remove
protein-based stains such as milk, grass or blood
and to help loosen soils before washing. During
Prewash, the washer will tumble the load for 6
minutes, drain, spin and shut off. Use the amount of
detergent and other laundry products recommended
for a normal wash cycle.
• The Prewash water temperature is the same as
the wash water temperature selected. To avoid
setting protein stains, select cold water.
• This cycle should always be followed by a
complete wash cycle using the recommended
amount of detergent.
Regular Cycle
Up to 19 minutes of reversing tumble action for most
fabrics. Three rinses, a high-speed final spin, a
pause and a brief tumble complete the cycle.
• Heavy Wash provides up to 19 minutes of
reversing tumble action for heavily soiled
fabrics.
• Wash provides up to 13 minutes of reversing
tumble action for normally soiled fabrics.
• Short Wash provides up to 6 minutes of
reversing tumble action for lightly soiled fabrics.
Perm Press Cycle
Up to 13 minutes of reversing tumble action for
cottons and blends with a no-iron finish. Three
ririses, 2 spins, a pause and a brief tumble complete
the cycle. Select Normal or Fast Final Spin as
desired for this cycle.
Hand Washables Cycle
Up to 9 minutes of gentle tumble action for the
gentle care of knit, delicate and hand washable
items. Two rinses and 2 spins complete the cycle.
Select Normal or Fast Final Spin as desired for this
cycle.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
Note: There is no need to select a water level
because the washer automatically adjusts
the water level to the type and size of wash
load.
WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE - This determines
wafer temperatures for washing and rinsing. For
example, the Warm/Cold setting provides a warm
water wash and a cold water final rinse.
Note: Detergents are not as effective at wash water
temperatures below 65°F (18.3°C).
The following chart suggests wash/rinse
temperatures for basic fabric types.

CYCLE SIGNAL - A signal will sound at the end of
the cycle. The Cycle Signal is adjustable and can
be set at OFF or from QUIET to LOUD.
Note: If the signal is turned to the OFF position, it
will not sound at the end of the cycle.
EXTRA RINSE - Use Extra Rinse when additional
rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and
detergent from heavily soiled loads.
• Select Extra Rinse YES to automatically
include an extra rinse in the Regular or Perm
Press cycle.
• Select Extra Rinse NO to conserve water when
an extra rinse is not desired.
FiNAL SPIN - There are two spin speed options
available for the Perm Press and Hand Washables
cycles.
* Normal is recommended for most loads,
especially hand washables and items which
may wrinkle easily.
• Fast provides a faster spin speed to increase
water extraction and make items feel drier at
the end of the cycle.
The following chart shows the speed selections
available.
