Cycle Details:
Use this cycle for lightly soiled,
colored clothing or towels. This cycle
is also a good choice for garments
with a wrinkle-free finish. This cycle
uses medium-speed wash action and
medium-speed spin.
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly
soiled loads that are needed in a hurry.
This short cycle combines high-speed
wash action and high-speed spin for
the optimal cleaning and shortened
dry times. A Water Save Spray Rinse
is a preset cycle setting for this cycle.
This cycle combines low-speed wash
and low-speed spin action to clean
items labeled as "Machine Washable"
on the garment care label.
Use the Clean Washer with AFFRESH™
cycle once a month 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
"Cleaning Your Washer."
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.
This cycle is preset for a 31-minute
cycle and soak time can be adjusted
according to your needs by selecting
Soil Level. After the selected soak
period has ended, the washer will drain
but does not spin the load. At the end
of Soak, the washer will drain and wait
for a wash cycle to be selected, to
complete the cleaning process.
NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing
is not part of the soak cycle.
Use this option 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.
When to use RINSE & SPIN:
For loads that need rinsing only.
For completing a cycle after the power
has been off. The washer will return to
pause mode if the power was interrupted
or unplugged while cycle was running.
Drain & Spin may help shorten drying
times for some heavy fabrics or
special-care items. Drain & Spin may
also be used for draining the washer after
canceling a cycle or completing a cycle
after a power failure.
