Color Logic (on some models)
Select the correct TEMPERATURE setting. Match the particular color below the words with the
same color on the WASH/SPIN SPEED setting. Next, match the color again with the same color on
the Cycle Selector knob.
Example: Washing a load of medium soiled cotton towels and sheets.
Choose the LOAD SIZE.
Choose the
TEMPERATURE setting—
for this load it would be the HOT COLD (which is a
particular color).
Choose the
WASH/SPIN SPEED setting
that matches that color—for this load it would be the
NORMAL FAST.
Turn the Cycle Selector knob to the area that has the same color as the TEMPERATURE and
WASH/SPIN SPEED settings you have chosen—for this load it would be the COTTONS area.
Turn the knob to the MEDIUM setting.

About the control settings.
Load Size
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. The water level should
just cover the clothes.
Wash/Spin Speeds
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release
water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
Wash Speeds
With Normal Speed, the agitator will move at a high speed for the first few minutes, then it slows
down to a moderate speed. This gets your clothes clean while reducing wear on your clothing.
Use for cottons, denims and play clothes.
With Delicate Speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
With Handwash, the agitator will move slowly and will pause for periods to allow the clothes to
soak. Use for items labeled handwash.
With Casuals, the agitator will agitate and then pause to soak your clothes. It provides a gentler
way to wash your wrinkle-free and permanent press items and knits.
Spin Speeds
The Normal spin speed is for normal items. Use it to remove more water from your clothes to
allow them to dry faster in the dryer.
The Delicate spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters and lingerie. When using Slow spin
speed, clothes will be less dry than when using Normal spin speed.
