Cycle Details:
This cycle uses more water to flush out
allergens, such as dust mites or pet dander,
from normally soiled garments. This cycle
removes more than 95% of allergens.
Use this cycle to eliminate 99.9%
of bacteria when used in conjunction with
the Clean Boost with Heater option. Preset
cycle setting must be used to achieve
the proper sanitization. Be sure to add an
Oxi product to the Liquid Chlorine Bleach
dispenser.
Use Rinse/Drain & Spin with the Extra
Rinse option turned on to get a deep rinse
followed by a high-speed spin. The time
display will include an estimate of how long
it will take to fill and drain the washer.
Use Rinse/Drain & Spin to remove excess
water from the load by choosing Rinse/
Drain & Spin and turning off Extra Rinse.
This cycle may help shorten drying times
for some heavy fabrics or special-care
garments. Spin speed can be set to
a lower setting.
Rinse/Drain & Spin may also be used for
draining the washer after canceling a cycle
or completing a cycle after a power failure.
Adjust the Soil Level to change soak time
according to your needs. After the selected
soak period has ended, the washer will
drain but does not spin the load. After
draining, the washer will pause until a wash
cycle is selected, to complete the cleaning
process.
NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing is not
part of the soak cycle.
Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep the
inside of your washer fresh and clean. This
cycle uses a higher water level. Use with
affresh Washer Cleaner tablet or liquid
®
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washer. This cycle should not
be interrupted. See "Washer Care."
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or
other items in the washer during the Clean
Washer with affresh cycle. Use this cycle
®
with an empty wash tub.
