Wash Cycle—Cycle Selector Knob
The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing. The chart is ranked from longest to
shortest cycle time and wash intensity.
Your washer may not have all these cycles.
PREWASH For removing surface dirt from heavily soiled clothes. Make sure to follow with a
regular wash cycle.
COTTONS For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
WRINKLE FREE For easy care, wrinkle-free and permanent press items.
DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil.
KNITS Specially designed for normally soiled knits.
Custom Care (on some models)
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release water from the load.
The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
Wash Speeds:
With Normal wash speed, the agitator will move at a higher speed. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes.
With Gentle wash speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
Spin Speeds:
The Fast spin speed is for normal items. Use it to remove more water from your clothes to allow them to dry faster
in the dryer.
The Slow spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters and lingerie. When using Slow spin speed, clothes will be less dry
than when using Fast spin speed.
