*The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure,
water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The cycle time
will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white
fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures
assure optimal chlorine bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and extra high-speed spin to shorten drying time. It
also includes an Extra Rinse option, which is automatic with
Whitest Whites cycle.
Eco Whitest Whites
This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling while providing energy
savings on hot or warm wash temperature settings and by
lengthening the wash time by only 18 minutes. Cleaning and rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry.
Eco Heavy Duty
This cycle is designed to provide energy savings by reducing hot
water usage, while providing the same wash performance as
Heavy Duty. This will lengthen the wash time by only 18 minutes.

Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high-speed spin to shorten
drying times.
Bulky
Use this cycle to wash normally soiled blankets and comforters.
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.
Normal
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends,
cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines
medium-speed tumbling, extra high-speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
Small Load
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments
that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high-speed spin to
shorten drying time. Large wash loads will result in the machine
increasing the wash time.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics, lingerie, hand washable, and
special-care garments. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling
and low-speed spin for gentle fabric care.
■
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
Silk
Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments
(check label instructions to make sure the garment is washable.)
This cycle gently tumbles and drains with the lowest spinning to
gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will
contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle because
of the low spin action.
Rinse/Drain & Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling and extra high-speed spin. If desired, you
can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from
the SPIN SPEED option.
Rinse/Drain & Spin is useful for:
■ Loads that need rinsing only.
■
Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.
Using Drain & Spin:
1. Select Rinse/Drain & Spin cycle.
2. Deselect Extra Rinse option.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove stains on fabrics. This cycle
provides a soak time with warm or cold water, followed by drain.
Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the
laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement help improve
the removal of stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment,
even for delicate items.
