Low Use this cycle to wash large items. The washer will fill with
enough water to wet down the load before the wash portion
of the cycle begins. This cycle uses a higher water level than
other cycles.
High Provides maximum wash time and action for tough stains
and soils. 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.
High Provides additional water and alternating wash action for
heavily soiled mixed loads. Water-level sensing process
may take longer for some items than for others because
they will absorb more water than other fabric types.
High Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed-fabric
loads.
High Cold water with an additional wash action gently lifts
stains while caring for fabrics. Options may be adjusted
as desired but must use only cold-water settings.
Low Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press,
and blends.
Low 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.
High Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads of 2-3
items that are needed in a hurry.
No Spin Use this cycle to soak small spots of set-in stains on fabrics.
The washer will use intermittent agitation and soaking. At
the end of the cycle, water will drain but washer will not
spin.
High 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.
High Combines a 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.
Low Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep the inside of your
washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level.
Use with affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine
bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washer. This
cycle should not be interrupted. See "Washer Care."
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the
washer during this cycle. Use only with an empty wash tub.
