Whirlpool AAV4000AW manual Select Water Level, Select Wash/Rinse Temperature

Using the Controls – 2 Speed Combo 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
Small	1/4 - 1/3
Medium	1/3 – 1/2
Large	1/2 – 2/3
Super	2/3 – Full

Note: Items must circulate freely for best results.

STEP 2

Select Wash/Rinse Temperature

Your washer gives you a choice of hot, warm or cold water for washing and cold or warm water (select models) for rinsing. Use the chart below as a guide.

WASH/RINSE	LOAD TYPE
TEMPS

	items.
