Load size tips
. Items should move freely in the washer. Do
not overload the machine or select a load size
that is too small for the wash load.
l Use a large load size setting for best results
with permanent press clothes.
l Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few items need
less wash time.
Selecting wash-rinse temperatures Match the water temperature to the type of
fabric and soils being washed. The top tempera-
ture is the wash water and the bottom tempera-
ture is the rinse water.
NOTE: The Regular cycle features all cold
rinses.
Water temperature tips
l Use warm wash water with the Permanent
Press and Fabricare cycles.
l Always use cold rinse water for permanent
press fabrics.
Settings may vary with model
l For heavily soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, prewash or presoak before washing in
warm water.
See the “Water usage guide” on page 16 for
