CYCLE GUIDE — STANDARD CYCLES
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the
load being washed.
Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
For best performance, not all settings are available with each cycle, and some options cannot be used together.

* All temperature selections feature a Cold rinse, except Warm*, which features a warm wash and a warm rinse.
† Sanitize
Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification
organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification
verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding,
and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete. Only
cycles with sanitize wash temperature selected have been designed to meet the requirements
of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing Effectiveness.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.
Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely.
For best results, avoid packing tightly.

Cycle Details:
High-speed tumbling and a
high-speed final spin help provide
optimal cleaning and reduce
drying times.
This cycle combines medium-speed
tumbling and a high-speed spin.
This cycle is designed to provide
the most energy efficiency.
Hot wash temperatures ensure
liquid chlorine bleach action.
An Extra Rinse helps remove any
bleach residue in clothes.
Uses an initial soak to completely
saturate the load, followed by
medium wash speeds and a
medium-speed spin to maintain
load balance.
For small loads (3-4 items) needed
quickly. This cycle combines
high-speed tumbling, a shortened
wash time, and a high-speed spin
for reduced drying times.
This cycle combines low-speed
tumbling and low-speed spin
for gentle fabric care and reduced
wrinkling
Similar to the way garments are
hand-washed in a sink, this cycle
combines periods of low-speed
tumbling and soaking. NOTE: Use
mesh garment bags as needed.
