Wl_itest 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. The default option setting for this cycle is 2nd Rinse to thoroughly remove detergent and bleach. For maximum soil and stain removal, liquid chlorine bleach should be used. Heavy Duty Use this cycle for heavily soiled cotton or sturdy items. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. Stain Treat is a preset cycle setting for this cycle, but it may be turned off. See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers and Options." This cycle uses a spray rinse to maximize water efficiency. Normal Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin. This cycle uses a spray rinse to maximize water efficiency. Casual/Wrinkle Free Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press and blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a mediumspeed spin and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling. Express Wash Use this cycle to wash a few lightly soiled items that are needed in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin for the best cleaning and shortened dry times. This cycle uses a spray rinse to maximize water efficiency. Bulky/Bedding This cycle is designed for oversized items that do not easily absorb water, such as comforters, pillows and poly-filled jackets. This cycle gently washes these nonabsorbent items in a preset water level to avoid damage. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large item. This is followed by medium wash action and medium spin speeds to maintain load balance. NOTE: Due to the preset water level, using this cycle for items other than those described above will create an unbalanced load. Sheets Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases and blankets. The wash action of this cycle is designed to help keep large items from tangling and bailing up. IMPORTANT: For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless steel portion of the basket. Colors/Towels Use this cycle for lightly soiled, colored clothing or towels. This cycle uses medium speed wash action and high speed spin. Delicate/Handwash Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled special care garments or for items labeled as "Machine Washable Wool or Silk." (Check label instructions to make sure that the garment is washable.) This cycle uses intermittent-low speed wash action and low-speed spin for the gentlest fabric care with less wrinkling. 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. Garments are labeled "Handwash" because: • The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action. • The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed. NOTE: Some "Handwash" items naturally shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled "Handwash." Items that shrink should be dried flat. When these items are still wet, "block" them by gently stretching to the original measurements.
