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. It also
includes Extra Rinse as a preset setting.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
Heavy soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten
drying times.
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.
Quick Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled 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. Large wash loads will result in the machine
increasing the wash time.
Delicate/Hand Wash
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics, lingerie, hand washable,

underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.

your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level
in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washing machine. See "Cleaning Your Washer."
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty
wash drum.

fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
