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. 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. Stain Treat must be turned off to change the modifiers.

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport

shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
