Controls

Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
Note: There is no need to select a water level
because the washer automatically adjusts the
water level to the type and size of wash load.
TEMPERATURES - This determines water temperatures
for washing and rinsing. For example, the Warm/Cold
setting provides a warm water wash and a cold water
final rinse.
Note: Detergents are not as effective at wash water
temperatures below 65°F (18.3°C).
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures

rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent
from heavily soiled loads.

an extra rinse in Whites/Regular, Colors/Perm
Press, or Delicates cycle.

an extra rinse is not desired.

available for each cycle. Note: The speeds will vary
from cycle to cycle. For example, Regular Fast spin
speed is much faster than Delicate Fast spin speed.
