Cycle Selection (continued) Regular/Whites Cycle Up to 15 minutes of normal agitation followed by a fast spin for most fabrics. Perm Press/Colors Cycle Up to 12 minutes of normal agitation followed by a fast spin for cottons and blends with a no-iron finish. • These cycle settings should always be followed by a complete wash cycle using the recommended amount of detergent. Controls Select the desired control settings according to load size, fabric type and degree of soiling. See Control Settings Chart below for detailed information on choosing control settings. WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE determines water temperatures for washing and rinsing. LOAD SIZE/WATER LEVEL determines the amount of wash and rinse water used for the wash load. To increase the water level after the wash cycle begins, turn the Load Size control to "Reset" and hold. When water begins to enter the tub, turn the control to the desired setting. Knits/Delicates Cycle Six minutes of gentle agitation followed by a slow spin for knit and delicate items. Soak/Prewash Cycle • Soak - The Soak setting can be used to treat heavily soiled or stained items. It provides 2 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes of soaking time, then advances to the Prewash portion of the cycle. Use the amount of detergent recommended for a normal wash cycle. For colorfast items, bleach or a soaking agent may also be used. Follow manufacturer's directions on the product label. • Prewash -When soaking is notnecessary, the Prewash setting can be used alone to help remove proteinbased stains such as milk, grass and blood and to help loosen soils before washing. During Prewash, the washer will agitate the load for 2 minutes, then drain, spin and shut off. Use the amount of detergent and other laundry products recommended for a normal wash cycle. Note: • The Soak water temperature is the same as the rinse water temperature selected; the Prewash water temperature is the same as the wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting protein stains, select cold water. Control Settings Chart Locate fabric type and read across guide for suggested wash and rinse temperatures, wash cycle and cycle setting.
