Cycle Details:
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.
This cycle uses extra water for wash
and an Extra Rinse for thorough
cleaning. Oxi dispense is defaulted
on this cycle, but may be deselected
if not needed.
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
garments 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 garments. 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.
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine
bleach to the load at the proper time
for improved whitening of your heavily
soiled white fabrics. This cycle combines
high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin speed. For maximum soil and stain
removal, use the liquid chlorine bleach
dispenser for liquid chlorine bleach,
color-safe bleach, or Oxi product laundry
boosters. This cycle can also be used
for sturdy color fabrics, such as towels
without liquid chlorine bleach.
