Controls at a Glance

Step 1

Select Water Level

Determine the selected setting based on clothes load size.

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.

REMEMBER: Items must circulate freely for best results.

WATER LEVEL SETTING	LOAD SIZE
Super	3/4 – Full
Large	1/2 – 3/4 Full
Medium	1/3 – 1/2 Full
Mini	1/4 Full
