Selecting a Cycle
This section describes the available wash cycles and will help
you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each
cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.
Preset cycle settings provide the recommended fabric care for
your selected cycle.
For improved fabric care at water levels below medium, the
washer automatically lowers the agitation speed. This change
takes place in all cycles except Extra Delicate and Hand Wash.
For most loads, use the soil level (agitation time) recommended in
the preset settings.
■ Select more time for heavy soils and sturdy fabrics.
■ Select less time for light soils and delicate fabrics.
■ The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Sounds” to learn more
about the sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.
■ Refer to “Understanding Washer Cycles” to learn what
happens during a wash cycle.
Heavy Duty
Use this 10-15 minute wash cycle for sturdy, colorfast fabrics
such as work clothes. The cycle combines high speed agitation
and high speed spin, to shorten drying times. This cycle also
includes CATALYST
®
cleaning action to help ensure removal of
heavy soils and stains. The preset agitation time is 15 minutes.
Whitest Whites
Use this 10-15 minute wash cycle for loads of white fabrics that
need improved whitening. The cycle combines high speed
agitation and high speed spin, to shorten drying times. This cycle
also includes CATALYST cleaning action, hot wash water and an
automatic second rinse. Bleach is recommended in this cycle to
provide outstanding whitening. The preset agitation time is
12 minutes.
Normal
Use this 8-12 minute cycle for moderately soiled cottons and
linens. The cycle starts with high speed agitation for deep
cleaning, then automatically steps to a lower speed to help
ensure gentle fabric care. High spin speed shortens drying time.
The preset agitation time is 10 minutes.
Perm. Press/Casual
Use this 6-10 minute cycle for cleaning lightly to moderately
soiled casual business clothes, permanent press blends and
synthetic fabrics. The cycle uses low speed agitation for
thorough cleaning and gentle fabric care for your no-iron fabrics.
To minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a cool down rinse and a
low-speed final spin. The preset agitation time is 8 minutes.
Quick Wash
Use this 4-8 minute cycle for small, lightly soiled loads that need
refreshing. CATALYST cleaning action is automatically added to
this cycle to help ensure the best cleaning results. For the fastest
cycle, select a small load size and less soil level. The preset
agitation time is 6 minutes.
Extra Delicate
Use this 4-8 minute wash cycle for sheer fabrics and lingerie. The
cycle features extra low speed agitation followed by a deep rinse
and a low speed spin. The preset agitation time is 6 minutes.
Hand Wash
Use this 4-8 minute cycle for hand washable garments. The cycle
features a series of brief, low speed agitations and short soaks to
gently clean special-care items. CATALYST cleaning action is
automatically added to this cycle to help ensure the best cleaning
results. Low spin speeds minimize wrinkling. The preset
agitation/soak time is 6 minutes.
NOTE: Wash small loads. If items appear to be floating (due to
trapped air), pause the washer by pressing Pause/Cancel once.
