Kitchen Towels Stuffed Animals Pet Bedding Bath Mats Drapes Rugs Tablecloths Cycle Details: Similar to the way garments are hand-washed in a sink, this cycle combines periods of low-speed tumbling and soaking. NOTE: Use mesh garment bags as needed. For small loads (3-4 items) needed quickly. This cycle combines high-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and an extra high-speed spin for reduced drying times. The default cycle is Rinse, Drain, & Spin. This cycle adds water, then uses high-speed tumbling and an extra high-speed spin. For some fabrics, you may wish to set the spin speed to a lower setting. Select "None" for rinses. Use this cycle to spin excess water out of a load. This cycle drains the water and spins at an extra high speed. Spin speed can be set to a lower setting. Make sure no clothes are in washer. Use monthly with affresh® to clean the interior of the washer. Specialty Cycles provide custom cycles for tackling common household cleaning tasks. Refer to the on-screen description for the individual cycles for additional details and available settings. NOTE: To maintain a balanced load, it may be necessary to add a few items with certain loads. Load Size Recommendations For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle. For cycles without a load size recommendation, follow on-screen instructions or see the Cycle Details in the Cycle Guide. Small load: To maintain a balanced load, fill the washer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full. Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full. Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full. Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing tightly. 9
