•
DO NOT
use powdered detergent in the dispenser.
•
Clean the fabric softener dispenser thoroughly
after each use. Fabric softener and liquid detergent
should not be mixed.
5. Set the cycle selector at Soak or Prewash and pull
knob to start.
The washer will provide Soak or
Prewash as selected. It then automatically advances
to the full Whites cycle and Extra Rinse cycle.
Automatic Extra Rinse Option
Select
Automatic Extra Rinse
or
Power Scrub/Extra
Rinse
to provide an extra rinse at the end of the Whites
cycle.
Controls
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
AGITATE/SPIN SPEEDS
offers three agitation speeds
and four combinations of agitation and spin speeds for
any cycle. The following chart suggests agitate/spin
speeds for basic fabric types.
WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE
sets water temperatures
for washing and rinsing. Select wash water temperature
according to fiber content, soil level and type of detergent.
A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
Precision Temp Control
The normal temperature of warm and cold wash water
can be affected by the hot water heater setting and
seasonally low ground water temperatures in some
geographic areas. Since detergents work best in wash
water at a minimum of 65° F, select a
Precision Temp
to regulate the temperature of the warm and cold wash
water in any cycle.
Wash water in the
Precision Temp Warm/Cold
and
Precision Temp Warm/Warm
settings is regulated to
approximately 90° F. and the wash water in the
Precision
Temp Cold/Cold
setting is regulated to approximately
70° F. Rinse water temperatures are not regulated.
Cycle Selection
(continued)
Prewash
•
Use Prewash when soaking is not necessary. Prewash
helps remove protein-based stains such as milk, grass
and blood. It also helps loosen soils before washing.
Prewash provides 3 minutes of wash agitation.
•
Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle.
•
The Prewash water temperature is the same as the
wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting
protein stains, select cold water.
•
Select the Agitate/Spin Speed appropriate for the
items being prewashed.
•
Select Wash Cycle Option
OFF
if advancing into the
Whites cycle is not desired.
•
Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Power Scrub Option
Select
Power Scrub
to automatically advance a load
from the Soak or Prewash setting into the Whites wash
and Extra Rinse cycles.
1.
Add the measured amount of detergent to wash
tub, then add wash load.
2.
Select appropriate Wash/Rinse Temperature,
Load Size, and Agitate/Spin Speed.
3. Select Power Scrub under Wash Cycle Options.
•
To use a cycle other than Whites after the Soak or
Prewash settings, select
OFF
and manually advance
cycle selector to cycle desired.
4.
Fill fabric softener dispenser with the
recommended amount of LIQUID detergent.
Add water to bring liquid level to fill line on dispenser
cap.
•
When selecting Power Scrub, the fabric softener
dispenser must be filled with diluted liquid detergent
at the beginning of the Soak or Prewash setting.
The detergent for the Whites cycle will then be
dispensed after the spin in Prewash.
The following chart suggests wash/rinse temperatures
for some typical wash loads.
LOAD SIZE
sets the amount of wash and rinse water for
the wash load. Select a water level appropriate for the
load size. There should be enough water for items to
move freely.
• To increase water level after the wash cycle begins,
turn the Load Size control to Reset and hold. When
water begins to enter the tub, turn the control to the
desired setting.
Energy Saving Tips
•
Wash full loads. Oversize loads use extra energy.
Undersize loads waste energy.
•
When small wash loads cannot be avoided, use lower
water levels.
•
Select the appropriate cycle and time for each load.
Shorten wash times for lightly soiled loads.
•
To reduce drying time, select a fast spin speed to
remove more water from heavy items such as towels
and jeans.
•
Use warm water to wash most loads. Limit hot water
washes to heavily soiled and white loads. Use cold
water for lightly soiled items and rinsing.
•
Operate the washer in early morning and late evening
when utility demands are low.
•
Follow proper laundry procedures to avoid rewashing.
