Your Whirlpool washer is designed for ease of operation and maximum washing efficiency. The
following will help you quickly learn to operate your machine.
Before starting your washer
Add measured detergent. Then place a sorted
load in the washer before starting. See page 10
for additional “Before you wash” information.
Select a load size
Turn the knob to point at a setting that describes
the size of load you want to wash. Set the knob
*-on SMALL (a few small items), MEDIUM or
LARGE (a full load).
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 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.
Select a water temperature
Match the water temperature to the type of fabric
and soils being washed. The top temperature is
the was6 selection and the bottom temperature is
the rinse selection.
Water temperature tips:
l
Use warm wash water with the Permanent
Press or Knits Gentle cycles.
l
For heavily soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak before washing
in warm water.
l
Always use cold rinse water for permanent
press fabrics.
See the “Water temperature guide” on page 14
for more information.
