Cycle too long
■
Di

you choose the Deep Clean with Steam option?
In this case, the heater and steamer will be activated to provide
maximum cleaning performance. Additional time will be added
to the regular cycle to heat the water. This additional time will
depend on the load size and the hot water inlet temperature.
■

A hot water temperature below the recommended setting will
increase heating time.

been started to reduce excessive suds. This routine will add
time to the original cycle.
■
Di
d
you wash a large loa
d
using the Quick Wash cycle?
The Quick Wash Cycle is designed for smaller load sizes
(2-3 items of lightly soiled garments). If larger loads are washed
using this cycle, wash time will be increased.
■
Di
d
you wash a large loa
d
using a gentle cycle?
When using the Delicate, Hand Washables, Silk, and Wool
cycles you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle
wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.
