Wash cycles are designed for the best wash performance for each type of load. Select the cycle that best
matches the load contents for maximum wash performance and fabric care. See the Sorting Laundry section for
best results, follow the fabric care labels on your garments. For a guide to fabric care symbols, see the Sorting
Laundry section.
Press the button to select the desired cycle. When you select a wash cycle, the light for the corresponding wash
cycle will turn on.

Wash Cycle
Use this cycle to wash all normal items, except delicate fabrics such as
wool or silk.
NOTE: Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle will
cause the Normal cycle to begin immediately, using the default settings.
This cycle is for washing white items only. (less than 15 lb. (6.8 kg))
Use this cycle to wash wrinkle-free clothes or tablecloths, to minimize
wrinkles.
This cycle is for washing lingerie or sheer and lacy clothes which can
easily be damaged.
Use this cycle for washing towels, shirts, jeans and mixed loads.
Use this cycle for garments that are specially designed and treated for
sport.
If you have a mixed load that is half-size, use the Normal cycle with
default settings. For full-size loads, use the Normal cycle with the soil
level set to heavy, and add an extra rinse. In both cases, the machine
will automatically detect the load size and adjust accordingly.
This cycle is for washing king or queen sized comforters.
NOTE: Use the Bedding cycle with a low spin speed when washing
waterproof or water-resistant items, to help protect the fabrics'
properties. If your washer does not function properly, manually
redistribute the load or put one comforter in at a time.
Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly soiled clothing and
small loads. For high wash and rinse efficiency, wash small loads of 2-3
lightly soiled garments(less than 3 lb. (1.36 kg)).
NOTE:Use very little detergent in this cycle. To add an extra rinse, use
the Extra Rinse button.
