Starting your washer
Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place a sorted load in the washer before
starting it
1. Select a load size
l
Position the Load Size Selector at the
setting that describes the size of load
you want to wash.
l
The selector can be set for SMALL
(a few small items) 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
SMALL water level setting. Loads with
only a few small items need less wash
time for best results.
2. Select water temperature
. Match the water temperature to the
type of fabric and soils being washed.
l
The top temperature is the wash
selection and the bottom temperature
is the rinse selection.
NOTE: Use warm water with the
PERMANENT PRESS or SHORT
Cycles.
For heavily soiled permanent press
or knit clothes, pre-wash or presoak
before washing in warm water.
ALWAYS use cold rinse water for
permanent press fabrics.
