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.
Use this cycle to wash small, lightly
soiled loads of 2–3 items that are needed
in a hurry. This cycle features a spray
rinse.
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron
fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses,
casual business clothes, permanent
press, and blends.
Use Hot or Warm wash temperature for
normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric
loads. Cool and Cold wash settings allow
you to wash smaller, slightly soiled loads.
This cycle features a spray rinse.
Low-speed spin is not available.
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. Do not overload basket.
Use this cycle for heavily soiled or
sturdy items. Water-level sensing process
may take longer for some items than for
others because they will absorb more
water than other fabric types.
The Eco Normal cycle allows you to
wash smaller loads (7.0 kg or smaller) to
increase energy savings compared to the
Normal cycle. When this cycle is used,
the wash cycle will use cooler wash water
temperatures than the Normal cycle.
Combines a rinse and spin for loads
requiring an additional rinse cycle or to
complete a load after power interruption.
Spin speed is selectable; default is high.
This cycle uses a higher, preset water level.
Also use for loads that require rinsing only.
