Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled colorfast fabrics. This cycle
combines a very hot water temperature and fast speed tumbling
to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120° F (49°
C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The Sanitary
cycle also helps kill bacteria, even when no bleach is used. Extra
high speed spin helps shorten drying time.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal 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.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
normally soiled garments. This cycle combines fast speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten
drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for
this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum
temperature.
NOTE: Stain Treat is a default option for this cycle, To ensure best
performance, the water is heated as the cycle progresses. This
gradual heating assists in the removal of organic soils such as
blood.
NormaVCasual
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, high speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
Express Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 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.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle
combines low speed tumbling and low speed spin for gentle
fabric care.
Silk
Use this cycle to clean washable silk garments, (Check label
instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle
gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean
garments and minimize wrinkling. Because there is no spinning
action, garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end
of this cycle.
Wool
Use this cycle to clean washable woolen garments. (Check label
instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle
features gentle tumbling and low speed spin to minimize creasing
and shrinkage,
Ultra Handwash
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a
sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra low
speed tumbling and soaking. Extra low speed spin reduces
wrinkling.
