Cycle Details
This is the normal cycle which is
recommended for normally soiled
cotton and linen items. Choose
the Heavy or Extra Heavy soil
level selection and Warm or Hot
water temperature selection as
appropriate for your clothes load
for a higher degree of cleaning.

wash periods to provide optimal
fabric care. For models on which
there is no temperature selection on
the control panel, this cycle provides
a Warm wash temperature only.
Lower wash temperatures, a shorter
wash period, and a deep fill rinse
(on some models) minimizes fading
and spotting of dark colored cotton
fabrics. For models on which there
is no temperature selection on the
control panel this cycle provides a
Cold wash temperature only.

control panel, this cycle provides a
Cool wash temperature only.

to lightly soiled active wear, aththletic
wear, and technical fabrics.

period with soak to effectively treat
body soils and odors. Use the Heavy
Duty cycle for heavily soiled sports
clothing constructed of sturdy fabric.

wash agitation periods with soak
periods to provide enhanced cleaning
performance and energy efficiency
with colder water temperatures.
