OPERATING YOUR WASHER
Load size tips
• Items should move freely in the washer. Do
not overload the machine or select a load size
that is too small for the wash load.
• Use a large load size setting for best results
with permanent press clothes.
• Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few items need
less wash time.
Selecting wash-rinse temperatures
Match the water temperature to the type of
fabric and soils being washed. The top tempera­
ture is the wash water and the bottom tempera­
ture is the rinse water.
NOTE: The Regular cycle features all cold
rinses.
Water temperature tips
• Use warm wash water with the Permanent
Press and Knits/Delicates cycles.
• Always use cold rinse water for permanent
press fabrics.
• For heavily soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, prewash or presoak before washing in
warm water.
See the “Water usage guide” on page 16 for
more information.
Settings may vary with model
