Color Logic (on some models)
Select the correct
TEMPERATURE
setting. Match the particular color below the words with the same color on
the
WASH/SPIN SPEED
setting. Next, match the color again with the same color on the Cycle Selector knob.
Example:
Washing a load of medium soiled cotton towels and sheets.
Choose the
LOAD SIZE.
Choose the
TEMPERATURE
setting—for this load it would be the
HOT COLD
(which is a particular color)
.
On some models, choose the
WASH/SPIN SPEED
setting that matches that color—for this load it would be
the
NORMAL FAST.
Turn the Cycle Selector knob to the area that has the same color as the
TEMPERATURE
and
WASH/SPIN
SPEED
settings you have chosen—for this load it would be the
COTTONS
area. Turn the knob to the
MEDIUM
setting.

Load Size
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. The water level should
just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly.
Custom Care Wash/Spin Speeds
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release
water from the load. On some models, the Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the
agitator and the basket. On some models, the Wash/Spin speed settings are located on the
Cycle Selector knob.
Wash Speeds
With Normal Speed,
the agitator will move at a high speed for the first few minutes, then it slows
down to a moderate speed. This gets your clothes clean while reducing wear on your clothing.
Use for cottons, denims and play clothes.
With Gentle Speed,
the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
With Casuals,
the agitator will agitate and then pause to soak your clothes. It provides a gentler way
to wash your wrinkle-free and permanent press items and knits.
Spin Speeds
The Fast spin speed
is for normal items. Use it to remove more water from your clothes to allow
them to dry faster in the dryer.
The Slow spin speed
is for delicate items like sweaters and lingerie. When using Slow spin speed,
clothes will be less dry than when using Fast spin speed.
