Preset cycle settings
Each cycle has a preset Cycle Time, Water Temp, and Spin
Speed. The preset settings provide the recommended
fabric care
for the selected cycle. See chart.

Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled colorfast fabrics. This cycle
combines a very 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. The Sanitary
cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common infectious
bacteria, even when no bleach is used. Extra high speed spin
helps shorten drying time.
Bulky/Bedding
Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and
comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly
saturate
your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and
extra low spin speeds to maintain load balance.
Whitest
Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures
assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer
wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling,
longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten
drying times. If the water temperature
is lower than needed for
this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum
temperature.
NOTE: Stain Treat is a default option for this cycle. To ensure
best performance,
the water is heated as the cycle progresses.
This gradual heating assists in the removal of organic soils such
as blood. Stain Treat must be turned off to change the modifiers.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium-speed
tumbling, high-speed
spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
Express Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 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. Large wash loads will result in the machine
increasing the wash time.
Kids Wear
This cycle is specifically designed to clean and thoroughly rinse
children's clothing. The SkinCare rinse with extra water provides
optimal rinse performance to minimize detergent residue. This
cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra high spin speeds
to shorten drying time.
Handwash/Wool
Use this cycle to clean washable woolen and special care
garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that the
garment is washable.) Similar to the way garments are hand
washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods
of extra low tumbling speeds and soaking. Low spin speeds
minimize wrinkling.
•
Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments
such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
Silk/Ultra
Delicate
Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments.
(Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.)
This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently
clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will contain a
higher amount of water at the end of this cycle, because there is
no spinning action.

such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
