Delicate
Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled "Permanent Press" or "Wrinkle
Free" or that indicate using a "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin to help reduce wrinkling.
Quick Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This
cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to
shorten drying time.
Sanitary
Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification
organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification
verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding,
and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super hot water
temperature and fast-speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper
performance during this cycle. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time. Only Sanitary

Normal Washer Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear
various sounds when the door is locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and
spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You
will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds
and pauses are part of normal washer operation.
