WASHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Washing Cycle Settings
Wash Water Temperature
Turn the temp knob until the desired wash water
temperature is selected. Select a wash water temperature
according to fi ber content, colorfastness and soil level. To
protect your fabrics, the temperature range of cold to hot
settings may be different depending on cycle selected.
For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be washed.
The water heater setting and its distance from the
washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and
seasonally low ground water temperature in some
geographic areas can affect water temperature.
hot
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast
cottons and blends.

cottons or blends.
cool (on select models)
Use this setting for normally soiled sheets, casual items

temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for
fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For
use with cold water
Water Level (on select models, automatic on others)
Turn the water level knob (on select models) to select a
water level appropriate for the load size. For best results,
DO NOT overload. Add items loosely to the tub. The dry
load should not be higher than the top row of holes in the
wash tub. There should be enough water in the tub for
items to move freely.
NOTE
If auto water level is selected, the washer will perform
a dry load sensing procedure before adding water to
the tub. Water level is automatically calculated by the
washer on models without a water level knob.
Fabric Softener (on select models)
If your model is equipped with an automatic fabric
softener dispenser, you must turn the fabric softener
switch to the "on" position for correct operation. See
Care and Cleaning for dispenser cleaning procedures.
Energy Saver (on select models)
The energy saver option reduces water temperature to
save energy, lowers water usage slightly and also extracts
more water to reduce drying time.
