Preset Cycle Settings
Each cycle has a preset Cycle Time, Water Temp, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide
the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.

*The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature,
detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the
load is unbalanced.
Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines an extra hot
water temperature and fast speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and
stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF (49ºC) to ensure proper
performance during this cycle. Only sanitary cycle has been designed to meet the
requirements of NSF protocol P172 for sanitizing efficiency.
Certified to Sanitize
Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of
bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides
optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residue on your laundry. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time.
Super Wash
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics, and heavily soiled garments. This
cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying
times.
Normal
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 lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This
cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and high speed spin to shorten
drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash time.
Delicate
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 a low spin-speed at the end of the cycle.
„ Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with
strings, and small items such as socks.
Handwash
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 as needed.
Spin Only
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is
preset to 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.
To use Spin Only setting
„ Select SPIN Only cycle.
