Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle
desired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel
button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the
cycle selector knob to another selection will not change
the cycle.
Cycle Selection
normal
Use this load for cotton, linen, towels, shirts, sheets,
denims and mixed loads.
casual
Use this cycle for cottons and blends with a permanent
press or no-iron fi nish.
quick wash
Quickly wash a small, lightly soiled load.
delicates
Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which
require gentle washing.
hand wash
Use this cycle to provide intermittent, gentle tumbling
for items labeled “Hand Wash”.
bedding
This cycle is designed for bulky items such as comforters,
blankets, mattress pads, sleeping bags and similar items.
heavy duty
Use this cycle for heavily soiled, durable garments - ex.
towels, sports gear, or fabric tote bags. For best soil
and stain removal, use the hottest water safe for the
fabrics being washed.
whites
Use this cycle for white fabrics and lightly colored
clothing. Refer to fabric care label for use of liquid
chlorine bleach.
spin only
Use the spin only cycle anytime you want to drain
water from the washer and spin out the load or as
a follow-up to a no spin selection. Select the spin
speed appropriate to the load. Fresh rinse is also a
selectable option.
sanitize
Use the sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heavily
soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, and
children’s clothing.
It is recommended that you set your water heater to
120° F (49° C) or higher to ensure proper performance
during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load
is extra large, the cycle time will be extended by 30
minutes or more.
The sanitize cycle will kill 99.9% of bacteria with
no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or
harsh chemicals are needed, but higher temperatures
are required. Please check fabric care labels to prevent
damage.
The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater
to a maximum of 152° F (67° C) as the load tumbles.
Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain
and spin.
As a precaution, the washer door is locked once the
water temperature reaches 130° F (55° C). If the
cycle is cancelled during the wash phase and the
water temperature is greater than 150° F (66° C), an
automatic cool down and drain will occur before the
door can be opened.
