Cycle Details
Cycle for normal, regular, or typical
use for washing up to a full load
of normally soiled cotton clothing.
Choose the Heavy or Extra Heavy soil
level selection and Warm or Hot water
temperature selection as appropriate
for your clothes load for a higher
degree of cleaning. Incorporates multi-
stage fills and wash periods to provide
optimal fabric care.
Utilizes an extra gentle agitate
profile and a low spin speed to
provide special care to delicate
fabrics. It is recommended to place
small or ultra delicate items in mesh
bags before washing.
Utilizes more intense agitation
profile and expedited wash period
to clean small lightly soiled loads in
the fastest time possible.
Utilizes a high speed spin to extract
water from wet items. For items that
need to be rinsed, select the Deep
Rinse option when using this cycle.
Cycle uses an initial lower water
fill for super concentrated, high
temperature sanitization followed by
a heavy wash step. A pump purge
and deep rinse is incorporated to
remove contaminants. See additional
details below. Smart Dispense not
available on this cycle.
Combines higher water levels,
a specially designed agitation
profile, and multi-step wash to
care for jeans with medium to
light soil.
Provides a Deep Fill/max fill wash
water level to wash bulky and
waterproof items. Also incorporates
a Deep Fill rinse to effectively rinse
bulky items and a low spin speed
appropriate for these items. Only
use this cycle for water-resistant,
bedding or bulky items.
