When Medium is selected with the Normal or Heavy
cycles, the washer will sense the size of the load and
adjust if required.
You may change the load size setting while the washer is
filling. If you change from Large to Medium but the water has
filled past Medium, you will get Medium with the next fill.

Select wash TEMP
Set the water temperature for the type of fabric and soils
being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabric.
Follow garment label instructions.
For Portable Installations
Open the faucets connected to the water supply hoses.
Wash and Rinse water temperatures are set at your faucet.
The Temperature control does not set the temperature.
Adjust the Hot and Cold water faucets to desired wash
temperature. Keep the temperature control set at COLD.
NOTE: The Cold setting allows water from the faucet to
enter the washer, but does not control the incoming water
temperature.
For a Rinse temperature that is different from the wash
temperature, you must adjust the water temperature at
the faucet after the washer has completed its initial fill.
To test the water temperature, press the red water-flow
button on the hose connector.
For Permanent Installations
The Rinse and Spin cycles default to a cold rinse, all other
cycles default to a warm rinse. Press the Temp button to
choose a different wash temperature.
Selecting Water Temperatures
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your items.
Water Temperature

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60ºF (15.6ºC),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).
