for different types of fabric and soil levels.

time and gets clothes much cleaner, yet is
more gentle on the fabrics, than top load
washers. Washing time can be reduced
significantly for small loads or lightly soiled
loads by selecting Quick Cycle with the
Option button and setting the Soil Level
button at Light.
