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.

If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the optimum temperature. Bulky Items Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and low-spin speeds to maintain load balance. 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.

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. Rinse/Spin Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and High speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier. A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for Loads that need rinsing only.
