Cycle Details:
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 adds water, then uses
high-speed tumbling and an extra
®
high-speed spin. For some fabrics,
you may wish to set the spin speed
to a lower setting.
Use Drain & Spin to remove excess
®
water from the load by choosing
Rinse/Drain & Spin and turning off
Extra Rinse. Spin speed can be set
to a lower setting.
Provides an extended soak without
a final spin to help loosen tough
stains prior to a wash cycle.
Use monthly with affresh
to clean the interior of the washer.
Make sure no clothes are in washer.
The Clean Washer light will flash
every 30 loads to remind you to run
the Clean Washer cycle.
