Selecting a cycle and time
This section illustrates and describes the
wash cycles you can select with the Cycle
Control Knob. Use this information to help
you make the best cycle selections for your
wash loads. Each cycle is designed for
different types of fabrics and soil levels. • The washer pauses briefly throughout
each cycle. These pauses are normal for
washer operation.
• Refer to page 8 to learn more about the
sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.
• Also, refer to page 9 to help you under-
stand what happens during a wash cycle.
Normal cycle
The Normal cycle features high agitation
and spin speeds to shorten drying time.
Use this cycle for cleaning cotton and linen
fabrics. Select 6, 10, or 14 minutes of wash
time, depending on whether your load is
lightly, moderately, or heavily soiled.
Permanent Press cycle
The Permanent Press cycle features a cool-
down rinse and low spin speeds to reduce
wrinkling. Use this cycle for cleaning perma-
nent press and some synthetic fabrics.
Select 10 or 8 minutes of wash time, de-
pending on whether your wash load is
moderately or lightly soiled.
NOTE: The 8-minute Permanent Press
cycle is indicated on your control panel with
a dot only, directly below the 10-minute
cycle.
