6. Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water
safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
Your washer uses automatic temperature control (on some
models) to maintain a uniform water temperature by
regulating the incoming hot and cold water. This helps
eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent
cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at approximately
75˚F (24˚C) by adding small amounts of hot water during the
cold fill. The warm wash is maintained at approximately 100˚F
(38˚C).
NOTE: Make sure that both the hot and cold water taps are
fully turned on or the automatic temperature control feature
will not work properly.
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF
(21ºC), 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).
7. (OPTIONAL) Some models have an EXTRA RINSE selector.
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.
8. (OPTIONAL ) Some models have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
selector. Set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL selector to ON if
you want your washer to alert you when the wash cycle is
complete. The signal is helpful when you are washing items
that should be removed from the washer as soon as the cycle
ends.
9. 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. See “Selecting a Cycle and Time.”
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 Cycle Control
knob.
■
To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out
the Cycle Control knob.
Adding bleach to models without a bleach dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid chlorine bleach after the washer
starts agitating. Pour diluted bleach around the agitator, not
directly on the load. Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it
touches. (See “Adding Liquid Chlorine Bleach.”)
Adding softener to models without a fabric softener
dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid fabric softener to the final rinse
water. Always dilute fabric softener with
∫
to 1 cup (125 to
250 mL) of warm water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain
fabrics. (See “Adding Liquid Fabric Softener.”)
Selecting a Cycle and Time
This section describes the available wash cycles and will help
you make the best cycle selections for your wash loads. Each
cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.
■
The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Washer Sounds” to
learn more about the sounds you may hear during a wash
cycle.
■
Refer to “Understanding Washer Cycles” to learn what
happens during a wash cycle.
NOTE: This manual covers several different washer models. The
washer you have purchased will not have all of the cycles
described.
Heavy cycle
This cycle features high-speed agitation followed by brief periods
of low-speed agitation for cleaning sturdy fabrics and heavily
soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Select Super Wash
or Regular depending on whether your load is moderately or
heavily soiled. For improved cleaning, use twice the amount of
detergent recommended for a wash cycle. The Heavy cycle
features Extra Rinse as part of the cycle.
Cotton cycle
This cycle features high-speed agitation followed by a brief
period of low-speed agitation for cleaning cottons and linens.
High spin speeds shorten drying time. Select 6 to 15 minutes of
wash time, depending on your model, for loads that are
moderately or heavily soiled. For lightly soiled loads, use the
shortest time setting.
Super Wash - Select the Super Wash setting to wash heavily
soiled loads that need maximum soil removal. Use twice the
amount of detergent recommended for a wash cycle.
Synthetics/Permanent Press cycle
This cycle starts with high-speed agitation and then steps down
to low-speed agitation for cleaning permanent press blends and
synthetic fabrics. To minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a
cool-down rinse and a low-speed final spin. Select 6 to 10
minutes of wash time, depending on your model, to clean lightly
to moderately soiled loads.
Delicates cycle
This cycle features low-speed agitation for gentle soil removal
from delicate items and washable knits. Low spin speeds
minimize wrinkling. Select 3 to 9 minutes of wash time,
depending on your model, to clean lightly to moderately soiled
loads.
