The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected. [. . . ] If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load. Bleach cycle Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycle 8. Pour the bleach into extra compartment 4; pour the detergent and softener into the corresponding compartments, then select one of the abovementioned wash cycles. [. . . ]
