Delicates Cycle
The Delicates cycle features a reduced agitation
speed for gentle soil removal, and low spin speeds to
reduce wrinkling. Use this 8-minute cycle to clean
delicate items and washable knits that are lightly to
moderately soiled.
Soak Cycle
The Soak cycle features brief periods of agitation and
soak time. Use this 30-minute cycle to remove heavy
soils and stains that need pretreatment. Use warm
water when soaking laundry. (Hot water can set
stains.) Use the amount of detergent or presoak
additive recommended by manufacturer.
• When soaking with color safe bleach, you may
extend the soak cycle for up to 2 hours by lifting the
lid.
• When using liquid chlorine bleach, never extend the
soak cycle. Prolonged soaking with liquid chlorine
bleach may damage clothes.
• When soaking with detergent alone, soak for at least
5 minutes.
• When the Soak cycle ends, add detergent and set a
new wash cycle.
NOTE: During the agitation and soak time, the wash
Cycle Status light will be on.

by removing excess water.

extended wash time for washing heavily soiled
loads that need maximum soil removal.

longer spin speeds to shorten drying time. Use this
cycle for cleaning sturdily-constructed cotton and
linen fabrics.

load is lightly or moderately soiled.
• On the 5-cycle model, use 14 minutes of wash
time.

that are moderately soiled.
