Using the Controls – 3 Speed Select Models
Select Water Level
Determine the selected setting based on clothes load
size. Selection should provide sufficient water to permit
clothes to circulate freely during agitation. On select
models, the Infinite Water Level control allows you to
select a specific setting or anywhere in between.
It may become necessary, due to bulky fabrics, to
adjust the water level after agitation begins. To adjust
the water level, turn the control to
reset and then back
to the desired setting.
STEP 1
Note: Items must circulate freely for best results.
