Sport
This cycle is designed for small loads of lightweight,
synthetic apparel worn for working out, running, swim-
ming, cycling, tennis and similar activities when removal
of light soil and perspiration are important. Items will
occacionally tumble slowly as they soak for 5 minutes.

water wash is not available with this cycle.
For best results, select a detergent that contains
enzymes and the hottest wash water safe for the load.
Add a detergant booster, color safe bleach or odor
eliminator with the detergent if needed. Chlorine bleach
should not be used on items containing Lycra™. Fabric
softeners reduce wicking and are not recommended for
garments made to pull moisture away from the body.

This cycle is designed for bulky items such as comforters,
blankets, sleeping bags and similar items.
Ten minutes
of normal reversing tumble wash action are followed by 5
minutes of gentle tumbling, 3 rinses and a final spin. The
Extra Rinse and Extra Spin options are available with this

Soak
Use this cycle to soak heavily soiled and stained items
before washing. Only cold water is available with this
cycle because warmer water may set some stains. Add
half the detergent dose and a deterent booster, if
desired, to the detergent compartment. Six minutes of
regular reversing tumble action are followed by 30
minutes of occasional tumbling as the load soaks. The
water will drain out and the load will spin slowly for a
short time. Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle
suitable for the load and a full detergent dose.
Wash / Rinse Water Temperatures
Select a wash water temperature according to fiber
content, colorfastness and soil level. For best results,
follow the care label instructions and use the hottest
water safe for the fabric. A cold water rinse saves
energy and reduces wrinkling.
•
Hot/Cold Heavily soiled, white/colorfast cotton and
perm press loads.
• Warm/Cold Normally soiled, white/colorfast cotton
and perm press loads.
• Cold/Cold Lightly soiled, non-colorfast items, knits,
delicates, hand washables, washable silk and wool.

Auto Temperature Control
Improves washer performance by utilizing sensors to pre-
cisely measure water temperatures. Water temperature
can be affected by the water heater setting and its dis-
tance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the
home and seasonally low ground water temperatures in
some geographic areas. Because detergents work best
in wash water at a minimum of 65° F, select settings with
the symbol for regulated wash and final rinse water
temperatures.
Hot 120° F
Warm 90° F
Cold 65° F

will not light up.
To change a setting after the cycle starts, press PAUSE/
