Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled colorfast fabrics. This cycle
combines a very hot water temperature and fast speed tumbling
to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C)
to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The Sanitary
cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common infectious
bacteria, even when no bleach is used. Extra high speed spin
helps shorten drying time.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast speed tumbling, longer
wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
normally soiled garments. This cycle combines fast speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten
drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for
this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum
temperature.
NOTE: Stain Treat is a default option for this cycle. Toensure best
performance, the water is heated as the cycle progresses. This
gradual heating assists in the removal of organic soils such as
blood. Stain Treat must be turned off to change the modifiers.
