Refer to "Normal Sounds" for sounds you may hear during a wash cycle. • Refer to "Understanding Washer Cycles" to learn what happens during a wash cycle.

Wash combines fast-speed agitation and fast-spin speeds. • Use the Super or Regular settings for heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics. • Use the Short setting for light soil and sturdy fabrics. Permanent Press The Permanent Press Cycle includes a load-cooling process that reduces wrinkling. Wash combines fast and slow-speed agitation and slow spin speeds. When the timer reaches Pause, the washer will drain and pause for approximately 2 minutes while some of the wash water is drained and replaced with rinse water.

Wash combines slow-speed agitation for gentle soil removal and slow spin speeds to reduce wrinkling.
