Wash / Rinse Temperature
Turn the Wash/Rinse Temperature knob to select
the wash water temperature suitable for the fiber
content and soil level of each load. A cold water
rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
To conserve energy, the hot wash water is regulated
to approximately 120° F. Warm and cold wash and
rinse water temperatures are not regulated.

Load Size
Turn the Load Size knob to select a water level
appropriate for the load size. For best results, DO NOT
overload. Add items loosely to the tub. The dry load
should not be higher than the top of the agitator vanes.
There should be enough water in the tub for items to
move freely.
To increase the water level after the wash cycle begins,
turn the Load Size knob to Reset and hold. When water
begins to enter the tub, turn the knob to the desired
setting.
Extra Rinse
To automatically add an Extra Rinse to the Regular cycle
turn the knob to YES. It provides 3 minutes of rinse
agitation in cold water, followed by a spray rinse at the
selected rinse water temperature during spin.
Selecting NO will stop the washer after the Regular
cycle is completed.
If desired, add liquid fabric softener to this rinse (not the
fabric softener dispenser) or use a softener sheet in the
dryer. DO NOT pour fabric softener directly onto the
load.
Energy Saving Tips
• Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy.
Undersize loads waste energy.
• When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use lower
water levels.
• Select the appropriate cycle and time for each load.
Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.
• To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed to
remove more water from heavy items such as towels
and jeans.
• Operate the washer in early morning and late evening
when utility demands are low.
• Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid rewashing.
