Low Provides additional water and alternating wash action for heavily soiled mixed loads. Water-level sensing process may take longer for some items than for others because they will absorb more water than other fabric types. High Use this cycle to wash large items such as jackets and small comforters. The washer will fill with enough water to wet down the load before the wash portion of the cycle begins, and uses a higher water level than other cycles. High Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. This cycle uses spray rinses. Low Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press, and blends. Low Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating "Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care label. Place small items in mesh garment bags before washing. This cycle uses a higher, preset water level. High Cold water with an additional wash action gently lifts stains while caring for fabrics. Settings may be adjusted as desired, but must use only cold water settings. High Use this cycle to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria when used in conjunction with the Timed Dispensers Oxi option. Preset cycle setting must be used to achieve the proper sanitization. Be sure to add an Oxi product to the Liquid Chlorine Bleach dispenser. High High Low No Spin Combines a rinse and high speed spin for loads requiring an additional rinse cycle or to complete a load after power interruption. Also use for loads that require rinsing only. This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying times for heavy fabrics or specialcare items washed by hand. Use this cycle to drain washer after cancelling a cycle or completing a cycle after a power failure. Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level. Use with affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Washer Care." IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash tub. Use this cycle to soak small spots of set in stains on fabrics. The washer will use intermittent agitation and soaking. After time has expired, water will drain, but the washer will not spin. Cycle is complete. NOTE: If you are using fabric softener, be sure to select the Timed Dispensers Fabric Softener option. *All rinses are cold. **Spin speed is integrated into the cycle and can not be selected. † Sanitize with Oxi Sanitize with Oxi cycle certified by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certification organization. The certification verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in clothing, bedding, and towels. There is no carry over of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete. Only the Sanitize with Oxi cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing Effectiveness. 6
