22 HOW TO USE MAIN CYCLE Wash cycles are designed for the best wash performance for each type of load. Select the cycle that best matches the load contents for maximum wash performance and fabric care. Turn the knob to desired cycle. When you select a wash cycle, the light for the corresponding wash cycle will turn on. See page 19, OPERATING THE WASHER, for more details on operating methods. COTTON/NORMAL Use this cycle to wash all normal items, except delicate fabrics such as wool or silk. NOTE: Pressing the Start Pause button without selecting a cycle will cause the COTTON/NORMAL cycle to begin immediately using the default settings. HEAVY DUTY This cycle is for washing heavily soiled laundry using more powerful wash motions. NOTE: Please Note that for maximum capacity loads (20 lbs and greater), the soak option algorithm is tweaked and optimized in order to deliver the best performance. During the soaking process, there will be brief periods of no agitation upwards of 2 minutes in order to allow the detergent to fully dissolve and be rinsed from the load. This is intended by design and is no cause for concern. BULKY/BEDDING This cycle is for washing blankets or bulky items. NOTE: Using the Bulky/Bedding Cycle with a low spin speed is recommended when washing waterproof or water-resistant items, to help protect the fabric's properties. BRIGHT WHITES™ This cycle is for washing white items only. SANITARY This wash cycle reduces 99.9% bacteria on laundry through high temperature. Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family Sized Clothes Washers ALLERGIENE™ This cycle is a powerful, high temperature cycle designed specifically to reduce certain allergens. NOTE: yySelecting the ALLERGIENE™ cycle automatically incorporates steam into the wash cycle. yyThe ALLERGIENE™ cycle can significantly reduce allergens in bedding and clothing. yyThe ALLERGIENE™ cycle helps reduce dust mite populations and helps reduce allergens. Due to the higher energy and temperatures used, the ALLERGIENE™ cycle is not recommended for wool, silk, leather, or any other delicate or temperature sensitive items TUB CLEAN Use this cycle to clean the tub of your washing machine.

SPEED WASH Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly soiled clothing and small load. For high wash and rinse efficiency, it is recommended to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments. NOTE: Use a little detergent in this cycle. If you want more rinsing, you can add extra rinse by using the Extra Rinse button. WOOL This cycle is for washing shrinkable woolen or handwashable items requiring delicate care. Only wash woolen items that are labeled machine washable or hand-washable. NOTE: yyLaundry weight should be less than 8 pound (3.6 kg) to prevent damage to the fabric. yyUse only natural or wool-safe detergent harmless to fabrics and load 1/2 of the normal amount of detergent. yyThe WOOL cycle uses a gentle wash action and low speed spin for the ultimate fabric care.
