CYCLE GUIDE - STANDARD CYCLES For additional cycle details and options, refer to the LCD display. Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best performance, not all settings are available with each cycle, and some options cannot be used together.

Cycle Details: This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling and a high-speed spin. This cycle is designed to provide the most energy efficiency. High-speed tumbling and a high-speed final spin help provide optimal cleaning and reduce drying times. 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. Uses more water to flush out allergens such as dust mites and pet dander from normally-soiled items. 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. Model: WFW97HE** † Sanitize Cycles certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization are those with the sanitize temperature selection available. The certification verified that these cycles reduce 99.9% of bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, and towels. There is no carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete. Only cycles with sanitize wash temperature selected have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing Effectiveness. †† Allergen Allergen cycle certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization. The certification verified that this cycle reduced tested allergens by at least 95.0% and maintained the water temperature necessary to kill dust mites. Only the allergen cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P351 for Allergen Reduction Performance effectiveness. 6
