Color Logic
Select the correct TEMPERATURE setting. Match the particular color below the words with the same color on
the Cycle Selector knob.
Example: Washing a load of medium soiled cotton towels and sheets.
Choose the LOAD SIZE.
Choose the TEMPERATURE setting—for this load it would be the HOT wash temperature (which is a
particular color).
Turn the Cycle Selector knob to the area that has the same color as the TEMPERATURE setting you have
chosen—for this load it would be the COTTONS area. Turn the knob to the MEDIUM setting.
Load Size
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket. The water level should just
cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly.
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or
instructions when laundering.
Wash Cycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The knob can be turned in either direction.
Turning the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and reset the cycle to the new
selection. Press START to begin the new cycle selection.
REMEMBER: When choosing the cycle, the Cycle
Selector knob can be pointed anywhere within
the shaded range for the cycle setting.
The Cycle Indicator Lights show what stage the washer is in. The wash time is the length of the wash
agitation. The 6 MIN light will remain lit during drain and spin. When the Selector knob is set to a new cycle
the Indicator Lights will flash momentarily, showing what stages the cycle will go through. On models without
an AUTO SOAK option, the SOAK light will not light up.
