Wash Cycles
Wash Cycles can be selected by pressing the button next to the
desired wash cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of
fabric and soil levels.
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water
Temperature, Spin Speed and may have preset Options. The
preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle.
The preset settings can be changed anytime before START is
selected. Not all Options and Modifiers are available with all
Cycles. (To change settings after the cycle has started, select
PAUSE/CANCEL, then select the desired settings. Select
START [for approximately 1 second] to continue the cycle.)
Preset cycle settings
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water
Temperature, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the
recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.
*The cycle times vary automatically based on your water
pressure, water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The
cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is
unbalanced.
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 120ºF (49ºC)
to ensure proper performance during this cycle. Extra high speed
spin helps shorten drying time.
White/Cotton
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
normal to heavily 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: Soil Treat is a default option for this cycle. To ensure best
performance, the water is heated as the cycle progresses. This
gradual heating assists in the removal of organic soils such as
blood.
Oversized Items
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.
