High Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. This cycle
uses spray rinses only. Use this cycle for cleaning the
interior of the washer. See "Washer Care."
High Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric
loads. This cycle features a progressive spray rinse.
High Provides additional water and alternating wash action for
heavily soiled mixed loads. Water-level sensing process may
take longer for some items than for others because they will
absorb more water than other fabric types.
High Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. This cycle
features a progressive spray rinse. This cycle complies
with SASO 2885 (standard cotton program 40°C (104°F)
using Cold temperature and standard cotton program 60°C
(140°F) using Hot temperature).
Low 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.
High Combines a rinse and high-speed spin for loads requiring
an additional rinse cycle or to complete a load after power
interruption. Also use for loads that require rinsing only.
High This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying times for heavy
fabrics or special-care items washed by hand. Use this
cycle to drain washer after cancelling a cycle or completing
a cycle after a power failure.
No Spin Use this cycle to soak small spots of set-in stains on fabrics.
The washer will use intermittent agitation and soaking. After
time has expired, water will drain, but the washer will not
spin. Cycle is complete.
Low 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. This cycle features a spray rinse.
High Cold water with an additional wash action gently lifts
stains while caring for fabrics. Settings may be adjusted
as desired but must use only cold water settings.
Med This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and medium
speed spin for gentle fabric care and reduced wrinkling.
