Operating instructions

Starting Your Washer

WATER TEMPERATURES

Turn the knob to point at a setting

that describes the size of load you

want to wash.

Set the knob anywhere on or be-

tween EX SMALL [a few small items)

and EX LARGE (a full load).

Match the wash and rinse water

temperature to the type of fabrics and

soils being washed.

All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save

energy and help prevent wrinkles from

setting into fabrics.

Recommended wash temperatures

can be found in your “Laundry Guide.”

LOAD SIZES AND WATER LEVELS

For best cleaning results, the

load must be able to move freely

in the water. Too big a load or too

little water can cause wear or

before agitation and timing starts. After agitation starts, the knob turns clock-wise

until it points to OFF and the cycle ends.
