1. Select a load size
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 between
EX SMALL (a few small items) and
EX LARGE (a full load).
l
To change the water level after the
washer has started to fill, turn the
knob to RESET, then to the desired
water level.
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.
2. Select water temperature
l
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 wash water with
the PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS
GENTLE 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.
