*These times are for reference only and may not match your model exactly.

**Cycle time in minutes will appear in the display while you are making selections. The total cycle time will appear, including an estimated time for drain and fill times, once Start is pressed.

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

Whitest Whites

This cycle introduces liquid chlorine bleach to the load at the proper time for improved whitening of your heavily soiled white fabrics. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin speed. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach must be used.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Deep Clean is the default option for this cycle, but it can be turned off. See “Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options.”

Bulky Items

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/Towels

Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases and towels. 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.
