Selecting a wash temperature

Your washer selects a wash water temperature and time when you select a wash cyde (see ‘Selecting a cycle and time” on page 7).

Match the wash water temperature to the type of fabric and soils being washed. All rinses are cold.

Far hot wash water, turn the Cycle Control Waoh watu bmporaIun Knob to Heavy Soil, 14 minutes wash time.

For warm wash water, turn the Cycle Control Knob to Regular Soil, 10 minutes wash time; or Short, 6 minutes wash time.

For oold wash water, turn the Cycle Control Knob to Normal Soil, 4-6 minutes wash time; or Short, 2 minutes wash time.

You may select different wash times by first selecting the water temperature and then turning to the new wash time. For example, if you desire 14 minutes wash time with cokl water:

1.Push in the Cycle Control Knob and turn it clockwise to Normal Soil-6 (cold wash water).

2.Pull out the Cycle Control Knob and allow your washer to fill.

3.When your washer has filled, push in and turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to Heavy Soil-14. (Your washer may add a small amount of additional warm water, but this should not affect the overall desired wash water temperature.)

4.Pull out the Cycle Control Knob.
