Whitest Whites This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. The default option setting for this cycle is 2nd Rinse to thoroughly remove detergent and bleach. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach should be used. Heavy Duty Use this cycle for heavily soiled cotton or sturdy items. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Stain Treat is the default option for this cycle, but it may be turned off. See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options." Normal Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Casual/Wrinkle Free Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press and blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a mediumspeed spin and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling. Darks/Colors Use this cycle for dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as jeans or other cotton items that may be susceptible to dye loss. This cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and highspeed spin. For best results use cold or warm water. Delicate Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating "Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle uses low-speed wash action and low spin speeds for increased fabric care and less wrinkling. When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or waterresistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have. Ultra Handwash Use this cycle to clean lightly soiled special care garments or for items labeled as "Machine Washable Wool." (Check label instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) This cycle uses intermittent-low speed wash action and low-speed spin for the gentlest fabric care with less wrinkling. When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or waterresistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have. Garments are labeled "Nandwash" because: • The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action. • The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed. NOTE: Some "Handwash" items naturally shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled "Handwash." Items that shrink should be dried flat. When these items are still wet, "block" them by gently stretching to the original measurements. Drain & Spin An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a power failure. Drain & Spin To use Drain & Spin setting: 1. Press DRAIN & SPIN button until the indicator light glows. NOTE: A Drain & Spin time of approximately 12 minutes will appear in the Estimated Time Remaining display. 2. Press START. IMPORTANT: Water will dispense in the washer for a moment, the lid will unlock, lock again, and then the Drain & Spin cycle will continue. This is normal. Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy. Soil Level (Wash Time) Soil level is preset for each cycle. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles." As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light next to Light Soil Level illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available for that cycle. Heavy Normal : Medium : Light Soil Level ADJUSTS WASHIlME For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset cycle settings. For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if needed. For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed. 16
