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
Position the Load Size Selector at the
setting that describes the size of load
you want to wash.
l
The selector 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, slide the
selector 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. Touch a temperature selection
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.
l
An indicator shows which temperature
has been selected.
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.
