the proper time for improved whitening of heavily soiled
white fabrics. The default option for this cycle is 2nd
Rinse. To remove allergens, use the preset settings and
select Stain Treat.

is the default option for this cycle, but it can be turned off.
See “Changing Cycles, Modiers and Options” in the Use
and Care Guide. To remove allergens, use the preset cycle
settings.

The Heavy Duty cycle is NSF certied to eliminate 99.9%
of bacteria when used in conjunction with the Timed Oxi

Duty cycle with the preset cycle settings. Add Timed Oxi

ghter.

This cycle may be used to wash a few lightly soiled items
that are needed in a hurry.

Bulky/Bedding

This cycle is designed for oversized items that do not
easily absorb water, such as comforters, pillows and poly­lled jackets. Other items will create an unbalanced load
in this cycle.

Sheets

Use this cycle for sheets, pillowcases and blankets. The
wash action of this cycle is designed to help keep large
items from tangling and balling up.

loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load
above the stainless steel portion of the basket.

This cycle uses medium speed wash action and high
speed spin.

Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled special care garments
or for items labeled as “Machine Washable Wool or
Silk.”(Check label instructions to make sure that the
garment is washable.) This cycle uses intermittent-low

fabric care withless wrinkling.
