Cycle Details:
This cycle combines medium-speed
tumbling and an extra-high-speed spin.
This cycle is designed to provide the
most energy efficiency.
For small loads (2–4 items) needed
quickly. This cycle combines high-
speed tumbling, a shortened wash
time, and an extra-high speed spin for
reduced drying times.
This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and medium-speed spin for
gentle fabric care and reduced
wrinkling.
Fast-speed tumbling and an extra-fast-
speed final spin help provide optimal
cleaning and reduce drying times.
This cycle uses a concentrated
detergent solution along with cold
water throughout the cycle to gently
lift out stains and care for fabrics.
This cycle eliminates 99.99% of the
most common bacteria found in
clothes, sheets, and towels. Using the
highest wash temperature available and
adding a powdered Oxi product in the
drum ensures sanitization. Check
recommended wash temperature of
your items and use the amount of Oxi
recommended by the manufacturer.
Bacteria tested were K. pneumonia, P.
aureginosa, and S. aureus.]
This cycle combines medium-speed
tumbling and an extra-high-speed spin.
