Selecting a wash temperature
Your washer selects a wash water temperature
and time when you select a wash cycle (see
“Selecting a cycle and time” on page 7).
Match the wash water temperature to the
type of fabric and soils being washed. All
rinses are cold.
For hot wash water, turn the Cycle Control
Knob to Heavy Soil, 14 minutes wash time.
For warm wash water, turn the Cycle Control
Knob to Regular Soil, 10 minutes wash time; or
Short, 6 minutes wash time.
For cold wash water, turn the Cycle Control
Knob to Normal Soil, 4-6 minutes wash time;
or Short, 2 minutes wash time.
You may select different wash times by first
selecting the water temperature and then
turning to the new wash time. For example, if
you desire 14 minutes wash time with cold
water:
1. Push in the Cycle Control Knob and turn it
clockwise to Normal Soil-€ (cold wash
water).
2. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob and allow
your washer to fill.
3. When your washer has filled, push in and
turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to
Heavy Soil-14. (Your washer may add a
small amount of additional warm water,
but this should not affect the overall desired
wash water temperature.)
4. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob.
Water temperature tips
- Use warm or hot wash water with permanent
press fabrics.
- For heavily soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak in warm water
before washing.
See the “Water usage guide” on page 14 for
