Silk/Ultra Delicate
Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments.
(Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.)
This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently
clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will contain a
higher amount of water at the end of this cycle, because there is
no spinning action.
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
infant socks.
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle.
For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles.
Handwash/Wool
Use this cycle to clean washable woolen and special care
garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that the
garment is washable.) Similar to the way garments are hand
washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods
of extra low tumbling speeds and soaking. Low spin speeds
minimize wrinkling.
Use mesh garment bags as necessary.
Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle.
For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles.
Kids Wear
This cycle is specifically designed to clean and thoroughly rinse
children's clothing. The Skincare Rinse II with extra water
provides optimal rinse performance to minimize detergent
residue. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra high
spin speeds to shorten drying time.
Bulky/Bedding
Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and
comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate
your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and
extra low spin speeds to maintain load balance.
Normal Washer Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning
process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be
momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing
during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses
are part of normal washer operation. (See Troubleshooting.)
Options
You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are
available with all cycles. Current selections will glow green. If an
option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate.
See the Laundry Guide section for an overview of possible
options for each Wash Cycle selection.
You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some
options cannot be added to some cycles, for example, Stain
Treat cannot be added to the Express Wash cycle.
If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be
3 short tones, and the light for that option will not glow when
selected.
My Cycle
My Cycle allows you to store a customized wash cycle for future
use.
To Customize a Wash Cycle:
1. Select a cycle.
2. Select the desired OPTIONS.
3. Select the desired MODIFIERS.
4. To save the cycle press and hold MY CYCLE (approximately
3 seconds) until a beep sounds and the letters SET are
displayed on your machine.
5. Press START.
6. To reuse this cycle at another time, select MY CYCLE and
press START.
Stain Treat
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain
treatment. When Stain Treat is selected, the water temperature of
the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water
will then be heated to a hot water temperature to aid in stain
removal. This option will provide optimal removal of organic
stains such as blood.
NOTE:
If Stain Treat is selected with the Sanitary cycle, the water will
be heated to a very hot temperature.
The Stain Treat and Energy Saver options cannot be selected
in the same cycle.
