Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some
models)
• In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been
diluted with '/2 to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.
Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the
lid open.
Turn the LOAD SIZE or WATER LEVEL selector to the correct
setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed
(on some models).
• You may change the load size or water level selection after
the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a
different setting.
• On models with a variable Load Size or Water Level
control, you should turn the knob to RESET, then to
desired setting.
Auto Water Level -This washer senses the load size and
composition through a series of fills and wash motion. It
then adjusts the water level for the best cleaning and
rinsing performance. It eliminates the guesswork. The
water level is just right for every wash load size.
NOTE: To insure the washer calculates the proper water
for the load size, do not open lid or stop the washer once
the wash cycle has started.
NOTE: You may notice during a cycle that the wash load
is not completely submerged in water. This is normal for
your washer.
Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest wash
water safe for the fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) (on some models)
electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
• Even in Cool wash, some warm water is let into the
washer to maintain a minimum temperature.

detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to

increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).

You can customize your wash by adding rinse Options to your
cycle selections. This knob has settings for:
• Extra Rinse - Selecting this option provides a second
rinse. An Extra Rinse can be added to any wash cycle.
• Cycle Signal (on some models) - A tone will sound at the
end of the cycle. The sound level cannot be adjusted.
• Extra Rinse & Cycle Signal (on some models) - This option
combines both a Extra Rinse and a Cycle Signal at the
end of the wash cycle.
Fabric Select (on some models). Each fabric setting is
designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.
The Auto Load Sensing System (on some models) is an
integrated set of controls which work together to provide
optimal wash temperatures, agitation times, and agitation/
spin speeds based on the Fabric Select setting. The controls
provide higher wash temperatures for more aggressive,
heavy-duty cycles and slightly lower temperatures on cycles
for delicate and hand wash items, to provide better fabric care.
The timer knob allows you to decrease agitation time for light
soils and increase agitation time for heavy soils.
Push in the Timer knob and turn it clockwise to the wash
cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a small
water level setting. Pull out the Timer knob to start the
washer.
To stop or restart your washer:
• To stop the washer at any time, push in the Timer knob.
• To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out the
Timer knob.
