Place small items in mesh garment bags before washing. This cycle uses a higher, preset water level. Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads of 2-3 items that are needed in a hurry. This cycle features a spray rinse. Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press, and blends. Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. This cycle features a spray rinse. Low speed spin is not available. 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. Do not overload basket. Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Water-level sensing process may take longer for some items than for others because they will absorb more water than other fabric types. Deep Clean and Extra Rinse are default options, but may be turned off. For maximum soil removal use liquid chlorine bleach. Use this cycle to soak smail spots of set-in stains on fabrics. After time has expired, washer will drain, but will not spin. To set a follow up cycle, select Drain & Spin, add additional detergent and select a cycle based on fabric type.
