Starting your washer

Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place a sorted load in the washer before starting it.

1. Select a load size

l

l

Position the Load Size Selector at the setting that describes the size of load you want to wash.

The selector can be set for SMALL (a few small items) or LARGE

(a full load).

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 LARGE water level.

Reduce wash time when using SMALL water level setting. Loads with only a few small items need less wash time for best results.

2. Select water temperature

l

l

Match the water temperature to the type of fabric and soils being washed.

The top temperature is the wash selection and the bottom temperature is the rinse selection.

NOTE: Use warm water with the PERMANENT PRESS or SHORT Cycles.

For heavily soiled permanent press or knit clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak before washing in warm water.

ALWAYS use cold rinse water for permanent press fabrics.
