This cycle features high-speed agitation for maximum cleaning, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time. Select up to 14 minutes of wash time to clean large loads of sturdily constructed fabrics that are heavily soiled. Select less time to clean washable knits, cottons, permanent press, and some synthetic fabrics that are lightly to moderately soiled.

Super Wash - Select the 18-minute Super Wash feature to wash heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Use two times the recommended amount of detergent for this cycle.

Casual cycle

This cycle features a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling of permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. Select 6 to 10 minutes of wash time to clean lightly to moderately soiled loads.

Gentle cycle

This cycle features a series of brief agitations and soaks, followed by a short spin. Select up to 6 minutes of wash time to gently clean special-care items that are lightly or moderately soiled.
