Whitest Whites
This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the
proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white
fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed
spin speed. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine
bleach must be used.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Cycle combines
high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Deep Clean and
Spray Rinse are the default options for this cycle, but they can be
turned off. See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers, and Options."
Bulky Items/Comforters
Use this cycle to wash large items such as comforters, pillows,
and sleeping bags. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly
saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action
and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance.
Sheets
Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases, and blankets. The wash
action of this cycle is designed to keep large items from tangling
and balling up.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, drop items in loose heaps
evenly around the basket wall. Do not load items directly on the
impeller for this cycle.
Normal
Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads.
Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin.
Spray Rinse is the default option for this cycle, but it may be
turned off.
Casual/Perm Press
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press, and
blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a low-speed
spin, and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling.
Colors/Towels
Use this cycle for lightly soiled, colored clothing, or towels. This
cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and high-speed
spin. For best results, use cold or warm water.
