OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Normal
Use this load for light to normally soiled cottons, linens,
towels, shirts, jeans and mixed loads.
Delicates
Use this cycle for lightly soiled knits and delicates which
require gentle washing.
Hand Wash
Use this cycle to provide gentle agitation for items labeled
“Hand Wash”.
Active Wear
This cycle is designed for small loads of lightweight,
synthetic apparel worn for working out, running, swimming,
cycling, tennis and similar activities, including stretch
fabrics, when removal of light soil and perspiration are
important.
For best results, select a detergent that contains enzymes.
Add a detergent booster, color safe bleach or odor
eliminator with the detergent if needed. Chlorine bleach
should not be used on items containing Lycra™. Fabric
softeners reduce wicking and are not recommended for
garments made to pull moisture away from the body.
Colors
Use this cycle for lightly soiled, dark, or highly dyed fabrics
which may be susceptible to dye loss.
Whites
Use this cycle for white fabrics and lightly colored clothing.
Refer to fabric care label for use of liquid chlorine bleach.
Hot water is recommended to ensure optimal bleach
activation. For peak rinsing performance and to avoid
chlorine residues on your laundry add Extra Rinse to this
cycle.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle for heavily soiled, durable garments - ex.
towels, sports gear, fabric tote bags, jeans, or overalls. For
best soil and stain removal, use the hottest water safe for
the fabrics being washed.
Bulky
This cycle is designed for large items such as bedding and
bulky items such as comforters, blankets, sleeping bags
and parkas.
Quick Wash
Quickly wash a small, lightly soiled load.
Rinse & Spin
Select Rinse & Spin for loads that need a cold water rinse
or to add fabric softener that may have been omitted in a
regular cycle.
Drain & Spin
Use the drain & spin cycle anytime you want to drain water
from the washer and spin out the load.
Tub Clean
To clean and freshen the washer, perform the Tub Clean
cycle. This maintenance cycle removes residue that may
cause odor. See Care and Cleaning section for detailed
information about the clean washer cycle.
NOTE
Cleaning vinegar works well to freshen your load as a
substitute to traditional fabric softeners. Load into fabric
softener dispenser as normal.
