Whitest Whites
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the
proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white
fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin. The default option setting for this cycle is 2nd Rinse to
thoroughly remove detergent and bleach. For maximum soil and
stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach should be used.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle for heavily soiled cotton or sturdy items. Cycle
combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Stain
Treat is the default option for this cycle, but it may be turned off.
See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options."
Normal
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads.
Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin.
Casual/Wrinkle Free
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press and
blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a medium-
speed spin and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling.
Darks/Colors
Use this cycle for dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as
jeans or other cotton items that may be susceptible to dye loss.
This cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and high-
speed spin. For best results use cold or warm water.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating
"Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label.
This cycle uses low-speed wash action and low spin speeds for
increased fabric care and less wrinkling.
When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress
pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or water-
resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with
the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that
you have.
Ultra Handwash
Use this cycle to clean lightly soiled special care garments or for
items labeled as "Machine Washable Wool." (Check label
instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) This
cycle uses intermittent-low speed wash action and low-speed
spin for the gentlest fabric care with less wrinkling.
When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress
pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or water-
resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with
the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that
you have.
Garments are labeled "Handwash" because:
The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.
The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
NOTE: Some "Handwash" items naturally shrink when washed.
Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled "Handwash."
Items that shrink should be dried flat. When these items are still
wet, "block" them by gently stretching to the original
measurements.

Drain & Spin
An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some
heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be
used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or
completing a cycle after a power failure.
To use Drain & Spin setting:
1. Press DRAIN & SPIN button until the indicator light glows.
NOTE: A Drain & Spin time of approximately 12 minutes will
appear in the Estimated Time Remaining display.
2. Press START.
IMPORTANT: Water will dispense in the washer for a
moment, the lid will unlock, lock again, and then the Drain &
Spin cycle will continue. This is normal.

Soil Level (Wash Time)
Soil level is preset for each cycle. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in
"Cycles." As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time
(minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time
Remaining display. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad
until the indicator light next to Light Soil Level illuminates. This is
the shortest wash time available for that cycle.
For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset
cycle settings.
For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select
more wash time, if needed.
For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select
less wash time, if needed.
