3.(OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the liquid fabric softener dispenser. Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle.

Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the top line marked inside the dispenser.

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

■Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

NOTE: Do not wash clothes with the fabric softener dispenser removed.

4.Close the washer lid. Washer will not fill, agitate or spin with the lid open.

5.Press the WATER LEVEL button to select the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed. For a medium load the indicator light is on, for a large load the light is off.

■Choose a water level that allows the load to move freely for best fabric care. See “Loading.”

■You may change the water level setting while the washer is filling. If you change from high to medium but the water has filled past medium, you will get medium with the next fill.

6.Set the water temperature for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

For Portable Installations

Wash and rinse water temperatures are set at your faucet. The Wash/Rinse Temperature control does not set temperature.

Adjust the Hot and Cold water faucets to desired wash temperature. Keep the Wash/Rinse Temperature control set at COLD/COLD.

NOTE: The Cold/Cold setting allows water from the faucet to enter the washer, but does not control the incoming water temperature.

■For a rinse temperature that is different from the wash temperature, you must adjust the water temperature at the faucet after the washer has completed its initial fill.

■To test the water temperature, press the red water-flow button on the hose connector.

For Permanent Installations

Press the WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE button to set the wash temperature. For a Hot wash the top light is on, for Cold the bottom light is on, for Warm both lights are on. All cycles use a cold rinse.

Selecting Water Temperatures

Water Temp	Use for

Hot	Whites and pastels
	Heavy soils

Warm	Bright colors
	Moderate to light soils

Cold	Colors that bleed or fade
	Light soils

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF (21ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments).
