are Different from

These controls are intended to show the variety of features that are available in the product line. If your washer does not have all the options that are shown, it is not a mistake. The information provided applies to several of the models in the product line.

•Sort items into separate loads

•Pre-treat stains and heavily soiled areas

3. Select LOAD SIZE / WATER LEVEL

Variable control allows you to select the most appropriate setting for each wash load. Do not fill above top row of holes in tub with clothes. Use Water Level chart below to determine setting.

IMPORTANT: Do not hold knob at RESET for extended periods or washer flooding may result.
