Cycle Details:
For small loads (3-4 items) needed
quickly. This cycle combines
®
high-speed tumbling, a shortened
wash time, and a high-speed spin
for reduced drying times.
This cycle adds water, then uses
high-speed tumbling and an extra
high-speed spin. For some fabrics,
®
you may wish to set the spin speed
to a lower setting.
Use Drain & Spin to remove excess
water from the load by choosing
®
Rinse/Drain & Spin and turning off
Extra Rinse. Spin speed can be set
to a lower setting.
Provides an extended soak without
®
a final spin to help loosen tough
stains prior to a wash cycle.
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 the Clean Washer
