Cycles Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle Control knob to the desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels. The modifier indicator lights, on the right-hand side of the panel, will change as cycles are selected. Cycle Clean Washer Soil Level (cycle time) N/A (0:67) Water Temp N/A Spin Speed N/A Soak Normal (0:30) Warm/Cold No Spin Rinse/Spin Normal (0:22) Cold/Cold Extra High Drain/Spin Normal N/A (0:13) Extra High Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (estimated cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed, and may have preset options. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. The preset settings will glow green to show the preselected options and modifiers, and be changed anytime before START is pressed. Not all options and modifiers are available with all cycles. Available selections glow amber. (To change settings after the cycle has started, press PAUSE/CANCEL once, then select the desired settings. Press START to continue the cycle.) Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent in slow-speed cycles. Preset cycle settings Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart. Cycle Soil Level (cycle time) Water Temp Spin Speed Whitest Whites Normal (1:20) Hot/Cold Extra High Heavy Duty Normal (1:10) Hot/Cold Extra High Bulky Items Normal (0:55) Warm/Cold Low Active Wear Normal (0:40) Warm/Cold Medium To change the preset cycle settings Press the selector of each available setting until the desired setting glows green. Whitest 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 residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time. Heavy Duty Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum temperature. Bulky Items Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and lowspin speeds to maintain load balance. Active Wear Use this cycle to wash small loads of exercise wear such as biking shorts, tank tops, running tights, and other performance clothing. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and mediumspeed spin for gentle fabric care. Normal/ Casual Normal (0:50) Warm/Cold High Normal/Casual Delicate Wool Silk Normal (0:40) Normal (0:30) Normal (0:25) Warm/Cold Warm/Cold Cold/Cold Medium Medium No Spin 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. NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual Cycle.
