Speed:
High
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Water-level
sensing process may take longer for some items than for others
because they will absorb more water than other fabric types.
High
This cycle, when used with chlorine bleach, improves whitening
of soiled white fabrics.
Low
Use this cycle to wash large items such as jackets and small
comforters. The washer will fill with enough water to wet down
the load before the wash portion of the cycle begins and uses a
higher water level than other cycles.
High
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed-fabric
loads.
Low
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press, and
blends.
Low
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled items indicating "Machine
Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label. Place small
items in mesh garment bags before washing. This cycle uses a
higher, preset water level.
High
Cold water with an additional wash action gently lifts stains
while caring for fabrics. Settings may be adjusted as desired
but must use only cold water settings.
No Spin
Use this cycle to soak small spots of set in stains on fabrics.
The washer will use intermittent agitation and soaking. After
time has expired, water will drain, but the washer will not spin.
Cycle is complete.
High
Combines a rinse and high-speed spin for loads requiring an
additional rinse cycle. Use this cycle to complete a load after
power interruption or for loads that require rinsing only.
High
This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying times for heavy fabrics
or special-care items washed by hand. Use this cycle to drain
washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a
power failure.
Low
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.
