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
speed tumbling, longer wash time, and fast-speed spin to shorten drying time.
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. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the
water to the optimum temperature.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash normally soiled cottons and linens. This cycle combines medium-
speed tumbling and high-speed spin.
Quick 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 no-iron fabrics and garments labeled "Permanent Press" or "Wrinkle
Free" or that indicate using a "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin to help reduce wrinkling.
Clean Washer Cycle
Use this cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses
a higher water [eve[ in combination with Affresh
TM
washer cleaner or bleach and steam, to
thoroughly clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be interrupted. See
Cleaning Your Washer in the Washer Care section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle.

Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification
organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification
verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding,
and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
@
Certified to Sanitize
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super 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. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time.
Rinse & Spin

high speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want
from the Spin Speed modifier.

preset to extra high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want

be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.
