Super Wash
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Cycle combines
high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Stain Boost with
Heater cycle is the default option for the wash cycle, but it can
be turned off. See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers, and Options." A
Water Save Spray Rinse is a preset cycle setting for this cycle.
Whites
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the
proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white
fabrics. This cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-
speed spin speed. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid
chlorine bleach can be used in the liquid bleach dispenser. This
cycle can also be used for sturdy color fabrics such as towels
without liquid chlorine bleach.
Bulky
Use this cycle to wash large items such as comforters, sleeping
bags, and blankets. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly
saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action
and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance.
Sheets
Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases, and light blankets or throws.
The wash action of this cycle is designed to keep large items from
tangling and balling up.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, drop items in loose heaps
evenly around the basket wall. Do not load items directly on the
impeller for this cycle.
Normal
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads.
This cycle combines high-speed wash action and medium-speed
spin. A Water Save Spray Rinse is a preset cycle setting for this
cycle.
When washing waterproof/water-resistant items such as plastic
lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarps, jackets, or sleeping
bags, select the lowest spin speed setting available for the cycle
and washer model being used.
