setting glows green.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten
drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed
for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum
temperature.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and
comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to saturate your large
load. This is followed by medium wash action and low-spin
speeds to maintain load balance.

Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual
Cycle.
Delicate
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a
sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed
tumbling and soaking. CRADLE CLEAN™ motion offers gentle
fabric care for effective cleaning of delicate and hand washable
garments. Medium speed spin helps reduce wrinkling.
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
infant socks.
Hand Washables
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a
sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed
tumbling and soaking. CRADLE CLEAN™ motion offers gentle
fabric care for effective cleaning of delicate and hand washable
garments. Low speed spin helps reduce wrinkling.
Use mesh garment bags as necessary.
Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month 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 washing machine.
This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Cleaning Your Washer"
in the "Washer Care" section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty
wash drum.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots of set-in stains on
fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water
followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal
distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum
movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without
spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling and High speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for
Loads that need rinsing only.
Adding fabric softener to a load.
