WATER TEMPERATURES
• Turn the knob to point at a setting
that describes the size of load you
want to wash,
• Set the knob anywhere on or be
tween EX SMALL (a few small items)
and EX LARGE (a full load).
NOTE; Use the EX LARGE water
level for best permanent press
results.
• Match the wash and rinse water
temperature to the type of fabrics and
soiis being washed.
• All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save
energy and help prevent wrinkles from
setting into fabrics.
Recommended wash temperatures
can be found in your "Laundry Guide.”
IMPORTANT: Use warm water
with the PERM’T PRESS or KNITS/
GENTLE cycles. For heavily
soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak
before washing in warm water.
LOAD SIZES AND WATER LEVELS
For best cleaning resuits, the
load must be able to move freely
in the water. Too big a ioad or too
little water can cause wear or
tearing of load items.
