Cycle Selection, continued
Ultra Delicate
Use this cycle for sheer or lacy fabrics which require spe-
cial care. Small or very delicate items should be placed in
a mesh bag.
NOTE
Powder detergent may not completely dissolve in gentler,
slower, shorter cycles. Use of gentle-care liquid detergent
recommended.
Handwash
Use this cycle to provide intermittent, gentle tumbling for
items labeled "Hand Wash".
Wool
Designed for a small load of machine-washable woolen
items, the Wool cycle uses gentle washing action along
with cold rinses to eliminate shrinking and damage to
wool. You may use an
front load washers.
NOTE
Washing wool garments labeled " Dry Clean Only " or
using chlorine bleach can result in permanent damage.
Silk
Select this cycle for washable silk items. It will provide
gentle reversing tumble wash action in cold water and mul-
tiple rinses. Chlorine bleach will not be dispensed in this
cycle. The water will drain out at the end of the cycle, but
the drum will not spin. The garments will be very wet.
NOTE
Washing silk garments labeled " Dry Clean Only " or
using chlorine bleach can result in permanent damage.
Clean Washer
To clean and freshen the washer, perform the Clean Wash-
er cycle. If you wish to begin the cycle, empty the drum,
add bleach and press START. This maintenance cycle
removes residue that may cause odor. See Inside Routine
Cleaning (Preventive) for detailed information about the
Clean Washer cycle.
Rinse & Spin
Select Rinse & Spin for loads that need a cold water rinse
or to add fabric softener that may have been omitted in
a regular cycle. Add the fabric softener to the dispenser
chamber. Select the spin speed appropriate for the load.
NOTE
You may deselect Extra Rinse if you wish to perform a
Spin Only cycle or select No Spin if you want to perform
a Drain Only cycle.

Operating Instructions
Active Wear
This cycle is designed for small loads of lightweight, syn-
thetic apparel worn for working out, running, swimming,
cycling, tennis and similar activities when removal of light
soil and perspiration are important.
For best results, select a detergent that contains enzymes.
Add a detergent booster, color safe bleach or odor elimi-
nator with the detergent if needed. Chlorine bleach should
not be used on items containing Lycra™. Fabric softeners
reduce wicking and are not recommended for garments
made to pull moisture away from the body.
Express Sanitize
Use the Express Sanitize cycle to clean and sanitize heav-
ily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, cloth
diapers, and children's clothing.
NOTE
This cycle has been certifi ed by NSF International,
an independent third party testing and certifi cation
organization dedicated to public health, safety and
environmental protection.
Sanitization Performance of Residential
and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes
Washers
It is recommended that you set your water heater to 120° F
(49° C) or higher to ensure proper performance during this
cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is extra large, the
cycle time may be extended.
The Express Sanitize cycle will kill 99.9% of bacteria with
no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or harsh
chemicals are needed, but higher temperatures are re-
quired. Please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.
NOTE
If the voltage at your outlet is under 110 v, the internal
heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If
the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the
fi nal temperature of the wash water may be lower and
sanitation may be reduced.
The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to a
maximum of 152° F (67° C) as the load tumbles. Cold wa-
ter is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin.
As a precaution, the washer door is locked once the water
temperature reaches 130° F (55° C). If the cycle is can-
celled during the wash phase and the water temperature is
greater than 150° F (66° C) an automatic cool down rinse
will occur before the door can be opened.
