To set the correct water level, turn the
water level selector knob to the level
that describes the size of your wash
load.
The water level can be set to SMALL (a
few small items) or LARGE (a full load).
NOTE:
For best results with permanent
press clothes, use the LARGE water
level.
Reduce wash time when using the
SMALL water level setting. Loads with
only a few small items need less wash
time for best results.

Laundry Tip
For best cleaning results, use:
-Hot wash water for normally
soiled, permanent press and
synthetic items; white and color-
fast cottons; heavy soils and
diapers.
-Warm wash water for knits; dark
or non-colorfast colors ; washable
woolens; moderate soil.
-Cold wash water for lightly soiled
fabrics; some non-colorfast colors.
Dry detergents can spot-fade wet
laundry. If using cold water, dissolve
recommended amount of detergent
in one quart (1 L) of warm water
before adding it to the washer, or
use a liquid detergent.
Select a wash time by stopping the
washer after filling. Turn cycle control
knob to the number in the wash cycle
you want. The numbers are minutes of
wash time. Restart the washer.
To start

washer lid up or down. The washer will
pause briefly throughout each cycle.
These pauses are normal for washer
operation.
