5. Select wash cycle and time

How can I remove excess moisture from my clothes prior to drying?
It is possible to select the spin portion of a cycle to give items an extra spin to remove excessive moisture. To find the spin setting, align the knob with the notch in the colored controls between the rinse cycle and the end of a cycle, as indicated by the illustration. Pull out the knob to start the spin cycle.

Push timer knob in and turn to desired cycle and wash time. Timer knob can be turned in either direction. Wash cycle and time selection depends upon type of fabric and amount of soil. For best results when cleaning heavily soiled items, use longer wash time, up to 15 minute maximum. Lightly soiled items require less wash time. See "Cycles" section for more information. EXTRA RINSE is useful for people with detergent sensitive skin. It provides a second rinse to more completely remove laundry additives, suds, and perfumes in REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS, and DELICATE cycles. To select, set switch to ON. Set switch to OFF if not desired. EXTRA RINSE adds 10�15 minutes to total cycle time. EXTRA SPIN (some models) should be used when washing heavier items, like towels, that retain water. The extra spin extracts additional water from the clothing and shortens drying times. To select, set switch to ON. Set switch to OFF if not desired. EXTRA SPIN adds approximately 3 minutes to your total wash time.
