Cycle Details:
Use this cycle every 30 washes
to keep the inside of your washer
fresh and clean. This cycle uses a
higher water level. Use with affresh
washer cleaner tablet or liquid
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean
the inside of your washer. This
cycle should not be interrupted.
See "Washer Care."
IMPORTANT: Do not place
garments or other items in the
washer during the Clean Washer
with affresh ® cycle. Use this cycle
with an empty wash tub. See

Maintenance."
Use Drain & Spin to remove excess
™ water from the load. Spin speed
can be set to a slower setting.
Select Drain & Spin; then select
Extra Rinse to add water. The cycle
™
includes an extra-fast-speed spin.
For some fabrics, you may wish to
set the spin speed to a slower
setting.
This short wash cycle has an
extra-fast-speed spin followed
by intermittent tumbling and fan
activation to circulate air through
the clothes.
For small loads (3–4 items) needed
quickly. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling, a shortened
™
wash time, and an extra-fast-speed
spin for reduced drying times.
This cycle combines slow-speed
tumbling and slow-speed spin
for gentle fabric care and reduced
™
wrinkling.
This cycle uses a concentrated
detergent solution along with cold
™
water throughout the cycle to gently
lift out stains and care for fabrics.
