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.

Use a large load size setting for best results with permanent press clothes.

lReduce 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 tempe ture is the wash water and the bottom temper ture is the rinse water.

Water temperature tips

lUse warm wash water with the Permanent Press and Short cycles.

lAlways use cold rinse water for permanent press fabrics.

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