Cycle Details:
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.
This cycle uses extra water for wash
and an Extra Rinse for thorough
cleaning. Oxi dispense is defaulted
on this cycle, but may be deselected
if not needed.
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.
This cycle combines low-speed wash and
low-speed spin action to clean garments
labeled as "Machine Washable" on the
garment care label.
This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly
saturate your large load. This is followed
by medium wash action and medium spin
speeds to maintain load balance.
IMPORTANT: When washing waterproof/
water-resistant items such as plastic
lined mattress pads, shower curtains,
tarps, jackets, or sleeping bags, select the
lowest spin speed setting available for the
cycle and washer model being used.
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or
sturdy cotton garments. Cycle combines
high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin.
Use this cycle for extremely soiled
garments and household items that
need additional cleaning power. This
cycle combines high-speed wash action,
medium-speed spin, and a deep rinse
to flush excess dirt from the load.
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine
bleach to the load at the proper time
for improved whitening of your heavily
soiled white fabrics. This cycle combines
high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin speed. For maximum soil and stain
removal, use the liquid chlorine bleach
dispenser for liquid chlorine bleach,
color-safe bleach, or Oxi product laundry
boosters. This cycle can also be used
for sturdy color fabrics, such as towels
without liquid chlorine bleach.
