OPERATING YOUR WASHER
• If your machine has a slide Load Size Selec­
tor, you may set the load size anywhere on or
between the small and ex large settings.
To change the load size setting after the washer
has started to fill, move the Selector to the
desired new setting.
NOTE: If your washer has RESET on the Load
Size Selector, change the load size selection by
first moving the Selector to RESET, then to the
new load size.
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.

press fabrics.

clothes, prewash or presoak before washing in
warm water.
