Cycle Details: High-speed tumbling and a high-speed final spin help provide optimal cleaning and reduce drying times. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, a high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling. This cycle is designed to provide the most energy efficiency. Hot wash temperatures ensure liquid chlorine bleach action. An Extra Rinse helps remove any bleach residue in clothes. Uses an initial soak to completely saturate the load, followed by medium wash speeds and a medium-speed spin to maintain load balance. For small loads (3-4 items) needed quickly. This cycle combines high-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and a high-speed spin for reduced drying times. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle fabric care. 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. 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. Small 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. 6
