or ammonia.
I &,WARNING i

not
put

WATER
LEVEL
The water level control c_h be set to
provide the proper amount of wash
and rinse water for specific wash
load
sizes. Select water level that
will cover

The
bulkiness of _ash loads is important
when
determining
a water
level.
Articles
such as pillows,
blankets
and rugs are more absorbent
and
require
larger
amounts
of water.
For best resuks when washing bulky
items, set the Water Level control at
HIGH.
