CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
LOAD SIZE
Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small
will add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Ex
Large will add the most amount of water for large or bulky
loads. Items need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to
poor cleaning performance and may increase wrinkling and
tangling.
WASH TEMP
Wash Temp senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following
the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric.
• On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may
be cooler than your previous washer.
Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
