Operating Instructions
Starting your washer
Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place a sorted load in the washer
before starting it.
1. Select a load size
l
Turn the knob to point at a setting that
describes the size of load you want to
wash.
l
Set the knob on EX SMALL (a few
small items) or LARGE (a full load).
NOTE: For best washing results, items
should move freely in the washer. Do
not overload the washer or choose a
water level that is too low for your wash
load.
For best results with permanent
press clothes, use the LARGE water
level.
Reduce wash time when using EX
SMALL water level setting. Loads with
only a few small items need less wash
time for best results.
2. Select water temperature
l
Match the water temperature to the
type of fabric and soils being washed.
l
The top temperature is the wash
selection and the bottom temperature
is the rinse selection.
NOTE: Use warm wash water with the
PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS
GENTLE Cycles.
For heavily soiled permanent press
or knit clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak
before washing in warm water.
ALWAYS use cold rinse water for
permanent press fabrics.
