Delicate

Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled “Permanent Press” or “Wrinkle Free” or that indicate using a “Gentle” cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin to help reduce wrinkling.

Quick Wash

Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Sanitary

Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.

Certified to Sanitize

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super 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. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time. Only Sanitary cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing Efficacy.

Clean Washer with AFFRESH™

Use this cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level in combination with AFFRESHTM washer cleaner or bleach and steam, to thoroughly clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be interrupted. See Cleaning Your Washer in the Washer Care section.

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle.

Rinse & Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the Spin Speed modifier.

A Rinse & Spin cycle is useful for:

„Loads that need rinsing only, like swimsuits.

NOTE: For more delicate loads, when using a Rinse & Spin cycle to rinse swimwear, change the Speed Spin Modifier setting to Medium or Low to avoid fabric stress.

„Adding fabric softener to a load.

Drain & Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to extra high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the Spin Speed modifier.

NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, hand washables, and washable woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.

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 and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and 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.
