The preset settings can be changed anytime before START is 
selected. Not all Options and Modifiers (WASH TEMP, SPIN 
SPEED) are available with all Cycles. To change settings after 
the cycle has started, select PAUSE/CANCEL, 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, WASH/RINSE TEMP, and 
SPIN SPEED. The preset settings provide the recommended 
fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.
 
*The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, 
water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time 
will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced.
Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This 
 
cycle combines a super hot water temperature and fast speed 
tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. 
 
It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF 
(49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The 
Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common 
infectious bacteria, even when no bleach is used. High-speed 
spin helps shorten drying time. Only Sanitary Cycle has been 
designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for 
Sanitizing Efficacy. 
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white 
fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures 
assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides 
optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your 
laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash 
time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time. It also includes 
Extra Rinse as a preset setting.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and 
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed 
tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten 
drying times. 
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport 
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, 
cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines 
medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling 
process to reduce wrinkling.
Quick 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. 
Delicate/Hand Wash
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics, lingerie, hand washable, and 
special-care garments. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling 
and low-speed spin for gentle fabric care.
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as 
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as 
socks.
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 to thoroughly clean the 
inside of your washing machine. See “Cleaning Your Washer.” 
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer 
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash 
drum. 
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. 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.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots or stains on 
fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water, 
followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal 
distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum 
movement help improve the removal of stains. Drain without spin 
assures gentle treatment, even for delicate items.
