to be washed. Turn the cycle selector knob in either
direction to select the desired cycle. When you select a
wash cycle, the light for the corresponding wash cycle
will turn on. See page 22, Basic operation, for more
details on operating methods.
Reduce laundry allergen,

designed specifically to reduce certain allergens.

allergens in bedding and clothing.
The Allergiene™ cycle helps reduce dust mite

used, the Allergiene™ cycle is not recommended
for wool, silk, leather, or any other delicate or
temperature sensitive or non-colorfast items.
