About the control settings.

1 Load Size

The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.

2 Wash/Spin Speed

The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.

With Normal wash speed, the agitator moves faster. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes. With Gentle wash speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.

The Fast spin speed is for durable items. The Slow spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters and lingerie. When using Slow spin speed, clothes will be less dry than when using Fast spin speed.

3 Temperature

Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or instructions when laundering. Follow the water temperature guide on the washer lid.

4 Wash Cycle

The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing.

COTTONS For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.

EASY CARE For easy care and wrinkle-resistant items.

KNITS Specially designed for normally soiled knits.

DELICATES For lingerie and delicate fabrics with light to normal soil.

HANDWASH For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light soils. Provides periods of agitation and soak during wash and rinse.

POWER WASH/

EXTRA HEAVY For heavily soiled and heavy-duty fabrics. This cycle provides a longer agitation.

PREWASH For heavily soiled clothes or for clothes with a care label that recommends prewashing before wearing.

AUTO SOAK For heavily soiled clothes. Begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically.

Color Logic

Select the correct TEMPERATURE setting. Match the particular color below the words with the same color on the WASH/SPIN SPEED setting. Next, match the color again with the same color on the Cycle Dial.

Example: Washing a load of medium soiled whites, such as towels and sheets.

Turn the Cycle Dial to the area that has the same color as the TEMPERATURE and WASH/SPIN SPEED settings you have chosen—for this load it would be the COTTONS area. Then turn the Cycle Dial to the MEDIUM soil setting.
