Cycles
Wash Cycles
Choose Wash Cycles by turning the selector knob. The cycle 
indicator light will glow when selected. Each cycle is designed for 
different types of fabric and soil levels. The modifier indicator 
lights, on the right-hand side of the panel, will change as cycles 
are selected. 
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (estimated cycle time), 
Water Temperature and Spin Speed and may have preset 
Options. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric 
care for the selected cycle. 
The preset settings will glow green to show the preselected 
options and modifiers, and can be changed anytime before 
START is selected. Not all Options and Modifiers are available 
with all cycles. Available modifier selections will glow amber. 
(To change settings after the cycle has started, select STOP 
once, then select the desired settings. Select and hold START 
[for approximately 1 second] to continue the cycle.)
Preset cycle settings
Each cycle has a preset Cycle Time, Water Temp, and Spin 
Speed. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care 
for the selected cycle. See chart.   
To change the preset cycle settings
Press the selector of each available setting until the desired 
setting glows green.
Express Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments 
that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed 
tumbling, a shortened wash time, and high speed spin to shorten 
drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine 
increasing the wash time. 
Handwash/Delicate
Use this cycle to clean hand washable items and ultra delicate 
garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is 
washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and spins with low-speed to 
gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. 
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as 
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as 
infant socks.
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed 
cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed 
cycles.
Rinse & Spin
Use this cycle to rinse, drain, and spin your wash load. 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.
Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of 
your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level 
in combination with liquid chlorine bleach and steam, to 
thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle 
should not be interrupted. See “Cleaning Your Washer” in the 
“Washer Care” section. 
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer 
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty 
wash drum.
