setting glows green.
Sanitary
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.
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
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.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and
comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate
your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and low-
speed spin only to maintain load balance.
Normal/Casual
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.
NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual
Cycle.
Delicate
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 low speed
tumbling and soaking. CRADLE CLEAW M motion offers gentle
fabric care for safe and effective cleaning of delicate and hand
washable garments. Low speed spin reduces wrinkling.
• Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
infant socks.
Wool
Use this cycle to clean machine washable woolen garments.
(Check the care instructions to make sure that garment is
washable.) CRADLE CLEAN
TM
motion offers gentle fabric care for
safe and effective cleaning of washable wool. This cycle features
gentle tumbling and low-speed spin to provide optimum garment
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. CRADLE CLEAN
TM
motion offers gentle fabric care
for safe and effective cleaning of silk.
• Use mesh garment bags as necessary.
Hand Washables
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 low speed
tumbling and soaking. CRADLE CLEAW M motion offers gentle
fabric care for safe and effective cleaning of delicate and hand
washable garments. Low speed spin reduces wrinkling.
Quick Wash
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.
Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of
your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level
in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washing machine. This cycle takes approximately
50 minutes to complete and should not be interrupted. See
"Cleaning Your Washer."
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty
wash drum.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots of set-in 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 improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without
spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
