Operating Your Washer

USING YOUR WASHER (CONT.)

4.(OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric

softener dispenser.

• Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.

• Make sure you use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

•Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dis- penser with warm

water until liquid reaches the crossbar in the opening.

• Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle.

5.Close the washer lid.

6.Turn the Load Size selector to the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed.

• Your washer has five load size settings.

• Choose a load size that allows the load to move freely for best fabric care. See “Loading” later in this section.

•Change the setting after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.

7.Set the Water Temperature selector to the correct setting for the type of fabric and soils being

washed.

• Your washer uses the Accuwash automatic temperature control. Accuwash maintains a

uniform water tempera- ture by regulating incoming hot and cold water. This helps elimi-

nate undissolved detergent and ensures consis- tent cleaning results. The cold wash is maintained at approximately 75°F (24°C). The warm wash is maintained at approximately 100°F (38°C).

NOTE: Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on, or the Accuwash feature will not work properly.

•Use the warmest water safe for fabric.

•Follow garment label instructions.

HOT: 130°F (54°C) or above.

8.(OPTIONAL STEP) Your washer has an Extra Rinse selector. For an additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the Extra Rinse selector to On.

9.(OPTIONAL STEP) Set the Cycle Signal selector to On if you want your washer to sound a signal when the wash cycle is finished. This signal is helpful when you are washing items that should be removed from the washer as soon as the cycle ends.
