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
more information.
Selecting a cycle and time
You will find information you need to help you
make correct cycle selections in this section.
• 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 under­
stand 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 tem­
perature 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-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 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.
