Stain Cycle:

General overview of Stain Cycle:

1)Tumble in the “normal” tumble pattern until it has completed filling plus 3 minutes.

2)Tumble for an additional 15 minutes with a 6T/24P tumble pattern.

3)Return to selected tumble pattern and proceed with remainder of the wash time preselected.

4)Bleach fill and first rinse fill temperature will be the same as the wash fill temperature.

5)Rinse times (including fills) are now 5-1/2 minutes, 4 minutes, 4 minutes and 4-1/2 minutes.

6)The fourth rinse is forced, which would be warm if warm rinse selected. (Colors will not default to cold on the 4th rinse.)

The following is an example of a Stain Cycle:
