This cycle combines medium-
speed tumbling and an extra-high-
speed spin. This cycle is designed
to provide the most energy
efficiency.

detergent solution along with cold
water throughout the cycle to
gently lift out stains and care for
fabrics.
Use this cycle every 30 washes
to keep the inside of your washer
fresh and clean. This cycle uses
a higher water level. Use with
