CHOOSING CYCLES

(SELECT CYCLE Pads)

Use these pads to choose the right

wash cycle for the type of fabrics you

are washing.

For improved fabric care at water

levels below medium, the wash

action will automatically change.

This change will happen in every

cycle except HANDWASH CASUAL

and ULTRA HANDWASH.

• For most loads, use the time recom-

mended in the preset cycle settings.

• For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics,

use more time.

• For light soil and delicate fabrics,

use less time.

HEAVY DUTY

Use this cycle to get between 4 and 18

minutes of wash time for loads of sturdy,

colorfast fabrics such as work clothes.

Cycle combines fast speed agitation

and fast spin speeds. The preset wash

time for this cycle is 12 minutes.

REGULAR

Use this cycle to get between 4 and

18 minutes of wash time for normally

soiled cottons and linens. Cycle combines

slow speed agitation and fast spin

speeds. The preset wash time for this

cycle is 10 minutes.

PERMANENT PRESS

The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle

includes a load cooling process

that reduces wrinkling compared

to other cycles.

To begin the cooling process, the washer

will drain approximately ½ of the wash

water. There will be a brief pause, and

then the washer will fill at the selected

rinse temperature. This cools the load

before the first spin.

You can select 4 to 18 minutes of wash

time for use with no4ron fabrics, sport

shirts, blouses and cotton slacks. For

maximum benefit in reducing wrinkles,

do not select a WARM rinse temperature.

This cycle includes a deep rinse at

fast speed agitation with "stepped" spin

speeds (spins start at an extra-slow

speed and move to slow speed before

finishing at a fast speed) to reduce

wrinkling. The preset wash time for this

cycle is 8 minutes.

HANDWASH CASUAL

Use this cycle to get 4 to 18 minutes

of extra-slow speed agitation for sheer

fabrics and lingerie. The agitation is

followed by a deep rinse and a slow

spin speed. The preset wash time for this

cycle is 6 minutes.

ULTRA HANDWASH

Use this cycle for garments labeled

"Hand Wash" and special care items.

Gentle cleaning starts with a continuous

spray of water and detergent mixture as

the load is spun at low speed. This lasts

for about one minute. The washer then

fills to the selected water level. The wash

action is similar to the way you would

hand wash garments in the sink. It does

this with periods of extra-slow agitation

and soaking. Select 4 to 18 minutes of

wash agitation time. Slow spin speeds

help reduce wrinkling. The preset wash

time for this cycle is 4 minutes.

Garments are labeled "Hand Wash"

because:

• The fiber construction may be sensitive

to agitation.

• The fabric contains sensitive dyes that

may bleed.

NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items,

particularly wool, naturally shrink when

washed. Keep this in mind when you

purchase items labeled "Hand Wash."

Items that shrink should be dried flat.

When still wet, block these items by

gently stretching to original measure-

ments. Do not use ULTRA HANDWASH

for large items like blankets.
