Cycle Details:
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled
garments indicating "Machine Washable
Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label.
Place small items in mesh garment bags
before washing.
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly
soiled loads of 2-3 items that are needed
in a hurry.
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron
fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses,
casual business clothes, permanent
press, and blends.
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons
and mixed fabric loads.
Use this cycle to wash large items such as
jackets and small comforters. The washer
load before the wash portion of the cycle
begins. Do not overload basket.
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or
sturdy items. Water-level sensing process
may take longer for some items than for
others because they will absorb more
water than other fabric types.
Extra Rinse is a default option, but may be
turned off. For maximum soil removal use
liquid chlorine bleach.
Combines a deep rinse and high speed
spin for loads requiring an additional
rinse cycle or to complete a load after
power interruption.
Also use for loads that require rinsing only.
Clean Washer with AFFRESH ®
Use this cycle monthly to keep washer
drum fresh and clean. Higher water
levels combined with AFFRESH™ help
eliminate odors and mildew. See Washer
Maintenance for more details.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure washer is
empty before selecting this cycle.
