Cycle Details:
Combines a rinse and spin for loads
requiring an additional rinse cycle or to
complete a load after power interruption.
Spin speed is selectable; default is Max
Extract. This cycle uses a higher, preset
water level. Also use for loads that require
rinsing only.
This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying
times for heavy fabrics or special-care
items washed by hand. Use this cycle to
drain washer after cancelling a cycle or
completing a cycle after a power failure.
Use once a month to keep the inside
of the washer fresh and clean. Higher
water levels and Affresh work together
®
to thoroughly clean the washer interior.
