CONTROL

This control gives you the flexibility to save water when washing small loads.

Your washer lets you select a water setting based on the size of your wash load.

For normal loads, start with the MEDIUM LOAD Setting. Adjust up or down depending on your load. Clothes should move freely and roll toward the agitator.

To change to a higher water level setting after the washer has started to agitate, turn the knob to the desired new setting.

SELECTING WATER

Wash Water

Your washer lets you select a wash '. and rinse water temperature setting based on the type of load you are washing.

Using warm rinse water will leave loads drier after the spin cycle than if you use cold rinse water. However, warm rinses may increase wrinkling when line drying.

In cold climates, warm rinse water also provides a more comfortable temperature for handling the wash load..
