Front Load Washer Cycle Guide
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.
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.
