Front Load Washer Cycle Guide

This washer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle for your load. The “What to Wash” “How to Wash” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:
First determine what items are in the load that you are trying to wash. Use that to guide your “What to Wash” selection. Then determine how you want the washer to wash them and select the appropriate “How to Wash” selection. Selecting “What to Wash” will automatically select a default “How to Wash selection,” so selecting a “How to Wash” is optional. See chart below for more details.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.

Eliminate 99.9% of three common household bacteria| Sanitize*

This cycle eliminates 99.9% of the most common bacteria found in clothes, sheets, and towels. The extra hot wash temperature ensures sanitization. Check recommended wash temperature of your items. Bacteria tested were K. pneumonia, P. aureginosa, and S. aureus. Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that wash cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle, options, and settings that best fit the load being washed. Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product instructions. Avoid tightly packing the washer. The washer will not rinse well or spin correctly if tightly packed. Not all settings are available with each cycle, and some options cannot be used together. Not all options are available on all models.

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

About Detergent Concentration

Sort and Prepare Your Laundry

• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Treat stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on an inside seam.
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can plug pumps and may require a service call.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.
• For best performance, use HE detergent when washing bulky items.
• When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information about washing waterproof or water-resistant items. Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
• Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to avoid odor, reduce wrinkling, and prevent rusting of metal hooks, zippers, and snaps.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing because heat can set stains into fabrics.
  NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your items.
