Speed

A cycle for sturdily con-

structed fabrics that are

heavy to moderately soiled.

PERMANENT PRESS NORMAL Cycle

A cycle designed for mod-

erately soiled permanent

press and some synthetic

fabrics. The cool-down

rinse helps keep wrinkles

from setting into these

fabrics.

NOTE: You may hear the sound of water spraying during the spin parts of some

cycles. In some cycles, cold water is sprayed on the spinning load to help with

the rinsing.

Gentle Wash System

For better fabric care in the REGULAR and PERMANENT PRESScycles, the

agitation speed is reduced during the last few minutes of wash time.

KNITS/GENTLE NORMAL Cycle

A cycle that gently

washes and spins moder-

ately soiled delicate items

and washable knits.

SOAK Cycle

and soak time help remove

heavy soils and certain

stains that need extra

pretreatment. Use recom-

mended amount of

lowed by a Wash Cycle.

Special care is needed when soaking or pre-washing laundry
