l
Turn the knob to point at a setting
that describes the size of load you
want to wash.
l
Set the knob anywhere on or be-
tween EX SMALL (a few small items]
and EX LARGE (a full load).
NOTE: Use the EX LARGE water level
for best permanent press results.
l
Match the wash and rinse water
temperature to the type of fabrics and
soils being washed.
l
All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save
energy and help prevent wrinkles from
setting into fabrics,
Recommended wash temperatures
can be found in your Laundry Guide.
NOTE: Use warm water with the
PERM’T PRESS or KNITS GENTLE cycles.
For heavily soiled permanent press
or knit clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak
before washing in warm water.
NOTE: For best washing results, items should move freely in the washer. Do not
overload the washer or choose a water level that is too low for your wash load.
For best results with permanent press clothes, use the EX LARGE water level.
Reduce wash time when using EX SMALL or SMALL water level settings. Loads
with only a few small items need less wash time for best results.
