Cycle Details:
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons
and mixed fabric loads. This cycle
combines high-speed wash action and
medium-speed spin.
Use this cycle for sturdy garments with
dark or bright colors that could bleed or
fade in a warmer wash cycle. This cycle is
a good choice for washing new garments
that may shrink or fade in their first wash.
The wash action of this cycle is designed
to keep large items from tangling and
balling up.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, load
garments in loose heaps evenly around
the washplate. Do not load garments
directly over the center of
the washplate.
This cycle is also a good choice for
garments with a wrinkle-free finish. This
cycle uses medium-speed wash action
and medium-speed spin.
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly
soiled loads that are needed in a hurry.
This short cycle combines high-speed
wash action and high-speed spin for the
optimal cleaning and shortened dry times.
This cycle combines low-speed wash
and low-speed spin action to clean items
labeled as "Machine Washable" on the
garment care label.
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.
IMPORTANT: When washing
waterproof/water-resistant items such
as plastic lined mattress pads, shower
curtains, tarps, jackets, or sleeping bags,
select the lowest spin speed setting
available for the cycle and washer model
being used.
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or
sturdy cotton items. Cycle combines
high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin.
Use this cycle for extremely soiled
garments and household items that
need additional cleaning power. This
cycle combines high-speed wash action,
medium-speed spin, and a deep rinse to
flush excess dirt from the load.
