Using the Controls – 3 Speed Select Models
STEP 1
Select Water Level
Determine the selected setting based on clothes load size. Selection should provide sufficient water to permit clothes to circulate freely during agitation.
It may become necessary, due to bulky fabrics, to adjust the water level after agitation begins. To adjust the water level, turn the control to reset and then back to the desired setting.
WATER LEVEL SETTING | LOAD SIZE |

|
Mini | 1/4 Full |
Small | 1/4 - 1/3 |
|
|
Medium | 1/3 – 1/2 |

Large | 1/2 – 2/3 |

Super | 3/4 – Full |

Note: Items must circulate freely for best results.
