About the control settings.
1
Load Size
The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes
no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.

Wash/Spin Speed
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release
water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
With Normal wash speed, the agitator moves faster. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes. With
Gentle wash speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
The Fast spin speed is for durable items. The Slow spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters and
lingerie. Clothes will be less dry than when using Fast spin speed.

Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer's care
