CYCLE GUIDE - SPECIAL-PURPOSE CYCLES Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. For best performance, not all settings are available with each cycle, and some options cannot be used together. Items to wash using default cycle settings: Cycle: Wash Spin Temperature*: Speed: Soil Available Level: Options: Small loads of 2 - 3 Small Load Hot High Heavy Extra Rinse lightly soiled garments Warm Medium Normal Fresh Hold Cold Low Light Delay Start Extra Low Swimwear, items Rinse/Drain Warm* that need rinsing only & Spin Warm Cold High N/A Extra Rinse Medium Max Extract Low Fresh Hold Extra Low Delay Start No Spin Wet load of clothes Rinse/Drain N/A & Spin High N/A Max Extract Medium Fresh Hold Low Delay Start Extra Low No Spin Heavily soiled garments Soak Warm* Warm Cold Extra Heavy Fresh Hold Heavy Delay Start Normal Light No clothes in washer Clean Washer with Affresh® Cycle Details: 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 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. Use Drain & Spin to remove excess water from the load by choosing Rinse/Drain & Spin and turning off Extra Rinse. Spin speed can be set to a lower setting. Provides an extended soak without a final spin to help loosen tough stains prior to a wash cycle. Use monthly with Affresh® to clean the interior of the washer. Make sure no clothes are in washer. The Clean Washer light will flash every 30 loads to remind you to run the Clean Washer cycle. * All temperature selections feature a Cold rinse, except Warm/Warm, which features a warm wash and a warm rinse. Load Size Recommendations For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle. 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. 7
