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 tumbiing, high speed spin, and a ioad
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
Express Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 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
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle
combines low speed tumbling and low speed spin for gentle
fabric care.
Silk
Use this cycle to clean washable silk 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. Because there is no spinning
action, garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end
of this cycle.
Wool
Use this cycle to clean washable woolen garments. (Check label
instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle
features gentle tumbling and low speed spin to minimize creasing
and shrinkage.
Ultra Handwash
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a
sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra low
speed tumbling and soaking. Extra low speed spin reduces
wrinkling.
Extra Cycles
Extra Cycles can be chosen by selecting the button above the
desired cycle.

the SPIN SPEED modifier.
Rinse/Spin is usefui 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.
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.”)
You can customize your wash by adding OPTIONS to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cyole
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are
available with all cycles.

EXTENDED SPIN
■ See the “Laundry Guide” section for an overview of possible
options for each Wash Cycle selection.
■ You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some
options cannot be added to some cycles, for example. Stain
Treat cannot be added to the Express Wash cycle.
■ If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will glow 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 glow 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.
NOTE: The Prewash and Auto Soak options cannot be selected
in the same cycle.
Stain Treat
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain
treatment. When Stain Treat is selected, the water temperature of
the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water
will then be heated to a hot water temperature to aid in stain
removal. This option will provide optimal removal of organic
stains such as blood.
NOTE: If Stain Treat is selected with the Sanitary cycle, the water
will be heated to a very hot temperature.
