Select Water Level
Turn the infinite selector knob to the
setting that matches the size of the
load. It can be set to EX. SMALL,
SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE or EX.
LARGE, or any point in between.
If more water is needed once the fill is
complete, move the knob to Reset, then
to the desired setting.
For best washing results, clothes must
circulate freely. If too little water is
used, poor cleaning, linting and exces-
sive wear may result. Use the following
guide to select the proper water level:
• Ex. Small - 1/4 full of clothes.
• Small - 1/4 to 1/3 full of clothes.
• Medium - 1/3 to 1/2 full of clothes.
• Large - 1/2 to 3/4 full of clothes.
• Ex. Large - 3/4 full of clothes.
Note: When laundering permanent
press items or items of delicate con-
struction, washable woolens or loosely
knit items, never use less than the
MEDIUM setting. This will minimize
shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of
seams.
Select Wash/Rinse Water Temperature
Turn the selector knob to point at the
water temperature desired.
• HOT/COLD - Wash water will be the
temperature of the water coming from
the hot water faucet. Rinse water will
be cold. Use this setting for heavily
soiled whites and colorfast items.
• WARM/WARM - Wash water will be a
mixture of water coming from the hot
and cold water faucets. Rinse water
will be the same, exc::ept when the
16001145
permanent press cycle is selected;
then it will automatically be cold. Use
this setting for delicates and for
colored items when a warm rinse fol-
lowing the wash is preferred.
• WARM/COLD - Wash water will be a
mixture of water coming from the hot
and cold water faucets. Rinse water
will be cold. Use this for items with
moderate soi I level and colored items.
• COLD/COLD - Wash and rinse water
will be the temperature of the water
coming from the cold water faucet.
Use this setting to minimize fading of
brightly colored items and shrinkage
of washable woolens.
NOTE: Water below 65°F is too cold to
dissolve and activate granular laundry
detergents.
Select Cycle and Time
Push in the cycle control knob and turn
clockwise to the proper cycle and wash
time.
The HEAVY cycle is designed to wash
very soiled loads, the NORMAL cycle is
for average soiled loads and the LIGHT
cycle should be selected for slightly
soiled loads.
For Regular Fabric loads, turn the
control knob to 12 minutes for a heavy
cycle; to 8 minutes for a normal cycle;
and to 5 minutes for a light cycle.
For Permanent Press loads, turn the
control knob to 10 minutes for a heavy
cycle; to 8 minutes for a normal cycle;
and to 5 minutes for a light cycle. Due
to the extra cool down rinse which mini-
mizes wrinkling, this cycle can also be
used for non-permanent press items
when additional rinsing is needed.
