3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into
the liquid fabric softener dispenser. Softener is added
automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm
water until liquid reaches the top line marked inside the
dispenser.
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with the fabric softener
dispenser removed.
4. Close the washer lid. Washer will not fill, agitate or spin with
the lid open.
5. Press the WATER LEVEL button to select the correct setting
for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed. For a
medium load the indicator light is on, for a large load the light
is off.
Choose a water level that allows the load to move freely
for best fabric care. See "Loading."
You may change the water level setting while the washer
is filling. If you change from high to medium but the water
has filled past medium, you will get medium with the next
fill.
6. 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
Wash and rinse water temperatures are set at your faucet.
The Wash/Rinse Temperature control does not set
temperature.
Adjust the Hot and Cold water faucets to desired wash
temperature. Keep the Wash/Rinse Temperature control set
at COLD/COLD.
NOTE: The Cold/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
Press the WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE button to set the
wash temperature. For a Hot wash the top light is on, for Cold
the bottom light is on, for Warm both lights are on. All cycles
use a cold rinse.

pauses are normal. Refer to "Normal Sounds" to learn more
about the sounds you may hear during a wash cycle.
