Quick Wash Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads that are needed in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin for the best cleaning and shortened dry times. Wool This cycle combines low-speed wash and low-speed spin action to clean items labeled as "Machine Washable Wool" on the garment care label. Deep Clean option is not available in this cycle. Delicate/Handwash Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating "Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle uses intermittent low speed wash action and low-speed spin for optimal fabric care. When washing waterproof/water-resistant items such as plastic lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarps, jackets, or sleeping bags, select the lowest spin speed setting available for the cycle and washer model being used. Garments are labeled "Handwash" because: The ber construction may be sensitive to wash action. The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed. Soak (on some models) This cycle is preset for a 41-minute cycle and soak time can be adjusted according to your needs by selecting Soil Level. After the selected soak period has ended, the washer will drain but does not spin the load. NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing is not part of the soak cycle. Rinse & Spin Use this cycle to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed spin. The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take to ll and drain the washer.

Turn knob to RINSE & SPIN until the Rinse & Spin indicator light glows. 2. Press START. 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. To use or change Drain & Spin setting: 1. Turn knob to DRAIN & SPIN until the Drain & Spin indicator light glows. 2. Press START.
