Q: What is the difference between Heavy and Light settings?
A: For Whites and Colors, the wash agitation time is increased by 6 minutes and for Casuals, by 12 minutes. (Timesare
approximate)
Q: What is the difference between Regular and Pulsed?
A: Regular means the washer will continuously agitate during the wash cycle. Pulsed provides a more gentle wash
cycle by including pause periods during the wash cycle.
Q: Which cycle is best for heavily soiled items?
A: Whites or Colors cycles have the greatest wash intensity. This cycle provides the best overall cleaning. Casuals
should be usedfor wrinkle-free and permanent press items.
Q: How can I reduce linting?
A: Sort wash loads by fabric type and whether they collect lint (velveteen,corduroy) or produce lint (terry cloth, chenille).
Wash small loads for a shorter amount of time.
Q: How much detergent do I use?
A: Forbest performance, always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions on usage. Many detergents are
concentrated, so consult the product label and follow the clearly marked lines on the detergent measuring cups.
Excessivedetergent can negatively impact the wash performance.
