■ Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent in slow-speed cycles. Preset cycle settings Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.

Sanitary 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. Certified to Sanitize Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super hot water temperature and fast-speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time. Only Sanitary cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for Sanitizing Efficacy. Whitest Whites This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying time. Heavy Duty Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics, and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum temperature. Normal/Casual Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling. NOTE: For the best energy performance, use the Normal/Casual Cycle. Delicate Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed tumbling and soaking. CRADLE CLEAN™ motion offers gentle fabric care for effective cleaning of delicate and hand washable garments. Medium speed spin helps reduce wrinkling. ■ Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as infant socks. Hand Washables Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed tumbling and soaking. CRADLE CLEAN™ motion offers gentle fabric care for effective cleaning of delicate and hand washable garments. Low speed spin helps reduce wrinkling. Clean Washer Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month 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 washing machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Cleaning Your Washer" in the "Washer Care" section. IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum. Soak Use the Soak cycle to help remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles. 14
