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.
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 this cycle for normally soiled  

cottons and mixed fabric loads. This  

cycle uses spray rinses. 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, and uses a higher water level than 

other cycles.
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 

increase your 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.
