Operating Your Washer
Determine Proper Cycle
(Some cycles may not be included on your model)
Regular Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes,
towels, T-shirts, etc. The wash time selection will
depend on the type of fabric and the amount of soil.
For the best results when cleaning heavily soiled
items, use a longer wash time (15 minutes
maximum). Lightly soiled items require less wash
time and spin out.
If available, use the Prewash setting for extra
heavily soiled items. During the PREWASH setting,
the washtub will fill with water, agitate for a reduced
period of time and spin out.
There are three settings in the REGULAR cycle –
Heavy, Normal and Light.
Permanent Press Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics.
The wash time selection will depend upon the type
of fabric and amount of soil.
There are two settings in the PERMANENT PRESS
cycle – Normal and Light.
Handwash/Delicate Cycle (on select
models only)
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on
this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended (even
for small loads) to allow the delicate items to move
freely through the water. More water helps reduce
fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.
On this cycle, the agitation during the wash portion
of the cycle is not constant. The wash will alternate
between 24 seconds of agitation and then a pause
until advancing to the spin portion of the cycle.
There are two settings in the HANDWASH/
DELICATE cycle – Normal and Light.
Delicate Cycle (on select models only)
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on
this cycle. A full tub of water is recommended (even
for small loads) to allow the delicate items to move
freely through the water. More water helps reduce
fabric wear, wrinkling, and provides for a clean wash.
On this cycle, the agitation during the wash portion
of the cycle is not constant. The wash will alternate
between 24 seconds of agitation and then a pause
until advancing to the spin portion of the cycle.
There is one setting in the DELICATE cycle –
Normal.
Hand Wash Cycle (on select models only)
Wash items usually washed by hand on this cycle. A
full tub of water is recommended (even for small

of the cycle is not constant. The wash will alternate
between 24 seconds of agitation and then a pause

Soak/Prewash (on select models only)
Use for heavily soiled or stained clothing. During
the SOAK/PREWASH setting, the washtub will fill
with water, agitate for a reduced period of time,
pause for approximately 12 minutes, and spin out
to complete the cycle.
Extra Rinse (on select models only)
This optional setting is useful for detergent
sensitive skin. By pressing the “Extra Rinse” button
to “ON,” the REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS and
HANDWASH/DELICATE cycles will each provide an
additional rinse.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons, read
