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
The knob can be set anywhere on or
between EX SMALL (a few small
items) and EX LARGE (a full load).
l
To change the water level after the
washer has started to fill, turn the
knob to RESET, then to the desired
water level.
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 EX LARGE
water level.
Reduce wash time when using EX
SMALL or SMALL water level settings.
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 presoak
before washing in warm water.
ALWAYS use cold rinse water for
permanent press fabrics.
