Cycle Details:
Provides additional water and alternating wash action for
heavily soiled mixed loads.
This cycle, when used with chlorine bleach, improves
whitening of soiled white fabrics.
Use this cycle to wash large items such as jackets and small
comforters. The washer will fill with enough water to wet
down the load before the wash portion of the cycle begins,
and uses a higher water level than other cycles.
Use this cycle for normally soiled or sturdy fabrics.
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric
loads.
NOTE: Deep Fill is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Fill setting will
result in auto sensing of the water level.
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 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.
