Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some
models)
■
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour
measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser.
Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of
the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the
underside of the rim. See max fill line arrows.
Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some
models)
■
In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been
diluted with
¹⁄₂
to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.
5. Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the
lid open.
6. Turn the LOAD SIZE or WATER LEVEL selector to the correct
setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being
washed. You may change the load size or water level selection
after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a
different setting.
7. Select a Wash Temperature based on the type of fabric and
soil being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for the
fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) (on some models)
electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
■
Even in Cool wash, some warm water is let into the
washer to maintain a minimum temperature of
approximately 70ºF (21ºC).
Temperature Guide
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).
8. (OPTIONAL) EXTRA RINSE selector (on some models). For an
additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the
EXTRA RINSE selector to ON. On some models, the EXTRA
RINSE feature is part of the cycle.
9. (OPTIONAL) Some models have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
selector. Set this selector to ON if you want your washer to
alert you when the wash cycle is complete.
10. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the
wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a
small load size setting. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start
the washer.
To stop or restart your washer:
■
To stop the washer at any time, push in the Timer knob.
■
To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out the
Timer knob.
