Using the Controls

STEP 1
Select Water Level
Determine the selected setting based on clothes load
size. Selection should provide sufficient water to permit
clothes to circulate freely during agitation.
It may become necessary, due to bulky fabrics, to
adjust the water level after agitation begins. To adjust
the water level, turn the control to reset and then back
to the desired setting.

Temperature
To select a cycle and water temperature, push the
control dial in (off position) and turn it to the right
(clockwise) until the pointer is at the number of
minutes and water temperature needed for the wash
load in the Regular, Wrinkle Control or Delicates
cycles. All rinses use cold water.
Regular Cycle
Used to wash cottons and heavily soiled items.
Wrinkle Control Cycle
Used to minimize wrinkles with a cool-down spray
rinse following the wash.
Delicates Cycle
Used for items requiring delicate wash action. The
washer will fill, then agitate and soak alternately.
Note:
In wash water temperatures below 60
(16° C), detergents do not dissolve well or clean
well. Care labels define cold water as up to 85
(29° C).
