Cycle Details:
Use this cycle to wash small loads of
2–3 lightly soiled garments that are
needed in a hurry. This cycle combines
a fast agitation, a shortened wash
time, and a high-speed spin to shorten
drying times.
Use this cycle for machine-washable
delicate garments. This cycle uses
intermittent wash action with cool
water and slow spin to gently care for
fine washables and avoid shrinkage.
Place small items in mesh bags before
washing.
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron
fabrics such as sport shirts and other
active wear.
Use this cycle to wash bed sheets. This
cycle uses extra water and a special
wash action to reduce tangling.
Use this cycle for lightly soiled office
wear. The cycle uses a warm wash, a
cooldown, and medium spin speeds
for better wrinkle performance.
Use this cycle to clean normally soiled
cottons and mixed fabric loads. Default
settings can be adjusted as needed.
This cycle uses cold water wash and a
concentrated detergent solution to
gently lift out stains and care for
fabrics. Settings may be adjusted as
desired, but must use only cold water
settings.
This cycle is designed for oversized
items that do not easily absorb water,
such as comforters, pillows, and poly-
filled jackets. The cycle uses an initial
soak to thoroughly saturate the item(s).
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or
sturdy cotton items. This cycle
combines high-speed wash action,
longer wash time, and extra high-
speed spin to shorten drying times.
Adjust temperature settings as needed.
This cycle adds liquid chlorine bleach
to the load at the proper time for
improved whitening of soiled white
fabrics.
