Speed:
High Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. This cycle
features a deep bath rinse.
Low Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled loads of no-iron fabrics
such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes,
permanent press, and blends. Also use to wash lightly soiled
garments indicating "Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle"
cycle on the care label. Place small items in mesh garment
bags before washing. This cycle features a deep bath rinse.
High Use this cycle to wash large items such as jackets and small
comforters. The washer will fill with enough water to wet
down the load before the Wash portion of the cycle begins
and uses a higher water level than other cycles.
High Use this cycle to wash swimsuits or items requiring rinsing
without detergent. The washer combines a rinse and a high-
speed spin for loads requiring an additional rinse cycle or
to complete a load after a power interruption. Also, use this
cycle for loads that require rinsing only.
High Use this cycle to drain the washer after cancelling a cycle
or completing a cycle after a power interruption. This cycle
uses a high-speed spin to reduce drying times for heavy
items or hand-washed items.
■ Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
■ Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
■ Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
■ Treat stains promptly.
■ Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
■ Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
■ When washing waterproof or water-resistant items,
load evenly.
■ Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing
delicate or small items.
