USING YOUR WASHER

Delicates cycle

The Delicates cycle features low-speed agitation for
gentle soil removal from delicate items and wash-
able knits. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling.
Select this 6-minute cycle to clean lightly to moder-
ately soiled loads.

Soak cycle

The Soak cycle features brief periods of agitation
and soak time to remove heavy soils and stains
that need pretreatment. 
• Use warm water when soaking laundry. Hot water

can set stains.

• Use the amount of detergent or presoak additive

recommended by the manufacturer.

• After the Soak cycle ends, add detergent and set

a new wash cycle.

Normal cycle

The Normal cycle features high-speed agitation 
followed by a brief period of low-speed agitation for
cleaning cottons and linens. High spin speeds
shorten drying time. Select 10 (Regular) or 14
(Heavy) minutes of wash time, depending on
whether your load is moderately or heavily soiled.

Super Wash – Select this 18-minute wash for
heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil
removal. Use two times the recommended amount
of detergent for this cycle.

Permanent Press cycle

The Permanent Press cycle starts with high-speed
agitation then steps down to low-speed agitation for
cleaning permanent press blends and synthetic 
fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a
cool-down rinse and a low-speed final spin. Select
6 or 10 minutes of wash time, depending on
whether your load is lightly or moderately soiled.
