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 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 tightly pack basket.
Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating
"Machine Washable Silks" or "Gentle" cycle on the care
label. Place small items in mesh garment bags before
washing. This cycle uses a higher, preset water level.
Combines a rinse and high speed spin for loads requiring
an additional rinse cycle or to complete a load after power
interruption. This cycle uses a higher, preset water level.
Also use for loads that require rinsing only.
This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying times for heavy
fabrics or special-care
items washed by hand. Use this
cycle to drain washer after cancelling a cycle or completing
a cycle after a power failure.
Use this cycle every 30 washes to keep the inside of
your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher
water level. Use with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly
clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be
interrupted.
See "Washer Care."
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the
washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with
an empty wash tub.
