Using the Controls

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.

STEP 2

Select Cycle and Water Temperature

To select a cycle and water temperature, push the control dial in (off position) and turn it to the right (clockwise) until the pointer is at the number of minutes and water temperature needed for the wash load in the Regular, Wrinkle Control or Delicates cycles. All rinses use cold water.

Regular Cycle

Used to wash cottons and heavily soiled items.

Wrinkle Control Cycle

Used to minimize wrinkles with a cool-down spray rinse following the wash.

Delicates Cycle

Used for items requiring delicate wash action. The washer will fill, then agitate and soak alternately.

Note: In wash water temperatures below 60° F (16° C), detergents do not dissolve well or clean well. Care labels define cold water as up to 85° F (29° C).
