Cycle Selection For best results, follow the fabric care label directions on items to be washed. Whites/Regular Cycle Up to 18 minutes of reversing tumble action for most fabrics. Three rinses, three spins, a pause and a brief tumble complete the cycle. Select NORMAL or FAST Final Spin as desired. • Heavy Wash provides up to 18 minutes of reversing tumble action for heavily soiled fabrics. • Wash provides up to 13 minutes of reversing tumble action for normally soiled fabrics. • Light Wash provides up to 6 minutes of reversing tumble action for lightly soiled fabrics. Controls Always follow instructions on fabric care labels. Note: There is no need to select a water level because the washer automatically adjusts the water level to the type and size of wash load. TEMPERATURES - This determines water temperatures for washing and rinsing. For example, the Warm/Cold setting provides a warm water wash and a cold water final rinse. Note: Detergents are not as effective at wash water temperatures below 65°F (18.3°C). The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures for basic fabric types. EXTRA RINSE - Use Extra Rinse when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent from heavily soiled loads. • Select Extra Rinse On to automatically include an extra rinse in Whites/Regular, Colors/Perm Press, or Delicates cycle. • Select Extra Rinse Off to conserve water when an extra rinse is not desired. FINAL SPIN - There are two final spin speed options available for each cycle. Note: The speeds will vary from cycle to cycle. For example, Regular Fast spin speed is much faster than Delicate Fast spin speed. • NORMAL is recommended for most loads. Short Wash Cycle Saves time and water. Up to 6 minutes of reversing tumble action for very lightly soiled fabrics. Two rinses, two spins, a pause and a brief tumble complete the cycle. Extra Rinse is not an option with this water conserving cycle. Select NORMAL or FAST Final Spin as desired for this cycle.
