. WATER TEMPERATURES

l Turn the knob to point at a setting that describes the size of load you want to wash.

l Set the knob anywhere on or be- tween EX SMALL (a few small items] and EX LARGE (a full load).

NOTE: Use the EX LARGE water level for best permanent press results.

l Match the wash and rinse water temperature to the type of fabrics and soils being washed.

l All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save energy and help prevent wrinkles from setting into fabrics,

Recommended wash temperatures can be found in your Laundry Guide.

NOTE: Use warm water with the PERM’T PRESSor KNITS GENTLE cycles. For heavily soiled permanent press or knit clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak before washing in warm water.

NOTE: For best washing results, items should move freely in the washer. Do not overload the washer or choose a water level that is too low for your wash load. For best results with permanent press clothes, use the EX LARGE water level. Reduce wash time when using EX SMALL or SMALL water level settings. Loads

with only a few small items need less wash time for best results.
