Cycle Details:
High-speed tumbling and a
high-speed final spin help provide
optimal cleaning and reduce drying
times.
This cycle combines medium-speed
tumbling, a high-speed spin, and
a load cooling process to reduce
wrinkling. This cycle is designed to
provide the most energy efficiency.
Hot wash temperatures ensure
liquid chlorine bleach action.
An Extra Rinse helps remove any
bleach residue in clothes.
Uses an initial soak to completely
saturate the load, followed by
medium wash speeds and a
medium-speed spin to maintain
load balance.
For small loads (3-4 items) needed
quickly. This cycle combines
high-speed tumbling, a shortened
wash time, and a high-speed spin
for reduced drying times.
This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin
for gentle fabric care.
Similar to the way garments are
hand-washed in a sink, this cycle
combines periods of low-speed
tumbling and soaking. NOTE: Use
mesh garment bags as needed.
