NOTE: Load only to the top of the basket. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. See “Starting Your Washer.”

IMPORTANT: When washing waterproof/water-resistant items such as plastic lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarps, jackets, or sleeping bags, select the lowest spin speed setting available for the cycle and washer model being used.

Whites

This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white fabrics. This cycle combines high speed wash action and high speed spin. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach can be used in the liquid bleach dispenser. This cycle can also be used for sturdy color fabrics such as towels without liquid chlorine bleach.

Bulky

Use this cycle to wash large items such as comforters, sleeping bags, and blankets. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance.

Sheets

Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases, and light blankets or throws. The wash action of this cycle is designed to keep large items from tangling and balling up.

IMPORTANT: For best performance, drop items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load items directly on the impeller for this cycle.

Normal

Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. This cycle combines high speed wash action and medium speed spin. A Water Save Spray Rinse is a preset cycle setting for this cycle.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy cotton items. Cycle combines high speed wash action and high speed spin. A Water Save Spray Rinse is a preset cycle setting for this cycle.

Colors/Towels

Use this cycle for lightly soiled, colored clothing or towels. This cycle is a good choice for garments with a wrinkle free finish. This cycle uses medium speed wash action and medium speed spin.

Hand Wash

This cycle combines low-speed wash and low-speed spin action to clean items labeled as “Machine Washable” on the garment care label. Pre Soak and Deep Clean options are not available in this cycle.
