Cycles may vary with model
• If your machine has a slide Load Size Selector,
you may set the load size anywhere on or
between the small and ex large settings.
To change the load size setting after the
washer has started to fill, move the Selector to
the desired new setting.
NOTE: If your washer has RESET on the Load
Size Selector, change the load size selection by
first moving the Selector to RESET, then to the
new load size.
Load size tips
• Items should move freely in the washer. Do
not overload the machine or select a load size
that is too small for the wash load.
• Use a large load size setting for best results
with permanent press clothes.
• Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few small items
need less wash time.
Selecting wash-rinse temperatures
Your washer has a knob or CLEAN TOUCH*
Water Temperature Selector. Match the water
temperature to the type of fabric and soils being
washed. The top temperature is the wash water
and the bottom temperature is the rinse water.
Water temperature tips
•
Use warm wash water with the Permanent
Press and Knits Gentle cycles.
•
Always use warm wash water and warm
rinse water with the Woollens cycle.
•
Always use cold rinse water for permanent
press fabrics.
•
For heavily soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, prewash or presoak before washing in
warm water.
See the “Water usage guide” on page 16 for
more information.
