Preset Cycle Settings Each cycle has a preset Cycle Time, Water Temp, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart. Cycle Estimated Time* Wash/Rinse Temp (hr:min) Spin Speed Sanitary 3H Extra Hot High Whites 2H Hot High Super Wash 1:39 Hot High Normal :56 Warm High Rapid Wash :34 (2-3 items) Warm High Delicate :34 Cold Low Handwash :35 Cold Low Spin Only :14 N/A High Rinse & Spin :26 Cold High Clean Washer :56 N/A High *The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. Sanitary Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines an extra hot water temperature and fast speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF (49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. Only sanitary cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF protocol P172 for sanitizing efficiency. Certified to Sanitize Whites This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residue on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time. Super Wash Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics, and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying times. Normal Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling. Rapid Wash Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash time. Delicate Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle, because there is a low spin-speed at the end of the cycle. „ Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as socks. Handwash Use this cycle to clean washable woolen and special care garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra-low tumbling speeds and soaking. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. „ Use mesh garment bags as needed. Spin Only Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier. NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin to avoid fabric stress.
