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 15 for more
information.
Selecting a load size
Position the Load Size Selector at the setting that
corresponds to the size load you want to wash.
Select a load size based upon the size of the
load and the fabric you are washing. See
page 11 for additional loading information.
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 small items need
less wash time.
Selecting a cycle and time
• Pages 6-8: Use the information on these pages
to guide you when selecting a wash cycle and
time.
• Page 9: Use this page to help you understand
what happens during a wash cycle.
NOTE: Your washer selects a wash water
temperature and time when you select a wash
cycle (see page 7). 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 and turn the Cycle Control Knob
clockwise to Light-6 (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-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.
