Allergen
Allergen cycle certified by NSF International, an independent,
third party testing and certification organization. The certification
verified that this cycle reduced tested allergens by at least 95.0%
and maintained the water temperature necessary to kill dust
mites.
Only the Allergen cycle has been designed to meet the requirements
of NSF Protocol P351 for Allergen Reduction Performance
effectiveness.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white
fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures
assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal
rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry.
This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time,
and high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily
soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, optimal
wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying times. If the water
temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm
the water to the optimum temperature.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and comforters.
This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large load.
This is followed by medium wash action and low-spin speeds to
maintain load balance.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts,
blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends,
cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines
medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling
process to reduce wrinkling.
NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual
Cycle.

fabric care.
Darks
Use this cycle to wash dark and bright colored garments such as
trousers, shirts, blouses or kidswear. This cycle combines low wash
water level with warm or cold wash temperature to avoid color
fading and color transfer to other load items. Gentle washing and
high spin speed makes this cycle a good choice for cotton, as well
as easy care garments.

that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling,
a shortened wash time, and high speed spin to shorten
drying time.

the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher
water level. Use with AFFRESH
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing
machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Cleaning Your
Washer" in the "Washer Care" section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer With AFFRESH
an empty wash drum.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots of set-in stains on
fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water
followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal
distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum
movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin
assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-
speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for:
■
Loads that need rinsing only, like swimsuits.
NOTE: For more delicate loads, when using a Rinse/Spin cycle
to rinse swimwear, change the Speed Spin Modifier setting to
Medium or Low to avoid fabric stress.
■ Adding fabric softener to a load.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash
load. The spin speed is preset to extra high. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, hand washables, and
washable woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed
to avoid fabric stress.
