Rinse water will be cold. Use this for items with
moderate soil level and colored items.
COLD/COLD - Wash and rinse water wall be the tem­
perature of the water coming from the cold water faucet.
Use this setting to minimize fading of brightly col­
ored items and shrinkage of washable woolens.
NOTE: Water below 65°F is too cold to dissolve and
activate granular laundry detergents.
Select Cycle and Time
Push in the cycle control knob and turn clockwise to
the proper cycle and wash time.
Washing;
The HEAVY cycle is designed to wash very soiled
loads, the NORMAL cycle is for average soiled
loads and the LIGHT cycle should be selected
for slightly soiled loads.
For REGULAR FABRIC loads, turn the control
knob to 12 minutes for a HEAVY cycle; to 8 minutes
for a NORMAL cycle; and to 5 minutes for a LIGHT
cycle.
For DELICATES, washable woolens, or loosely
woven items, turn the control knob to "délicates” on
REGULAR FABRICS and select GENTLE/SLOW
speed.
For PERMANENT PRESS loads, turn the control
knob to 10 minutes for a HEA\T cycle; to 7 minutes
for a NORMAL cvcle; and to 5 minutes for a LIGHT
cycle.
For KNITS, such as cotton knit Polo shirts, turn the
control knob to “knits” on PERMANENT PRESS and
select REGULAR/FAST speed. If the knit items are
loosely woven, select GENTLE/SLOW speed.
NOTE: If the washer stops during the spin, it may
be due to an unevenly distributed load. If this hap­
pens, push in the control knob, open the Hd, redis­
tribute the load, close the lid and pull out the control
knob.

The QUICK CYCLE reduces the cycle time by using
a 6 minute wash and a shorter first spin and rinse. Total
cycle time is approximately 16 minutes plus fill times.
To
select, turn the control knob to start.
Recommended for lightly soiled items.
Presoaking:
The AUTOMATIC PRESOAK cycle moves from the
presoak into the “HEA\T” regular fabrics cycle auto­
matically. Since the presoak and the wash are done in
one tub of water, it saves water and energy. A hot water
presoak is recommended for heavily soiled items. A
warm or cold water presoak is recommended for pro­
tein stains (blood, grass, etc.).
To use this cycle turn the control knob to PRE­
SOAK. The washer will soak for approximately 10 min­
utes (this includes periods of agitation) then move
directly into 12 minutes of wash without draining and
refilling. VV"hen using the Presoak cycle, use up to 50%
more than the usual amount of detergent or use a pre­
soak product such as Biz* in addition to the regular
amount of detergent. If you choose to use bleach, it can
also be added at this time.
