Normal/Casual
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 2-3 lightly soiled garments
that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to
shorten drying time.
Delicate/Silk
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
no spinning action.
■ Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
Wool/Hand Wash
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 to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.

Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you
can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from
the SPIN SPEED modifier.
Rinse/Spin is useful for
■ Loads that need rinsing only.
■ Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your
wash load. The spin speed is preset to extra 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.
Normal Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning
process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be
momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing
during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses
are part of normal washer operation. See “Troubleshooting.”
Options
You can customize your wash by adding Options to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are
available with all cycles.
■ See the “Laundry Guide” section for an overview of possible
options for each Cycle selection.
■ You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some
options cannot be added to some cycles, for example, Soil
Treat cannot be added to the Rapid Wash cycle.
■ If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will illuminate when selected.
■ If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a
short tone and the light for that option will not illuminate when
selected.
Prewash
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled items that need
pretreatment. This option adds a 15 minute prewash and drain to
the main wash cycle.
■ Add detergent to the Prewash and Main Wash compartments
of the Dispenser Drawer.
■ When using Prewash, do not use liquid detergent in the Main
Wash compartment. Use powdered detergent for the main
wash cycle (see “Using the Dispenser”).
