Operating your washer properly ensures maximum washing efficiency. This section gives you
important information to help you to select a cycle, time, and temperature for your wash load.
Before starting your washer
Add measured detergent. Then place a
sorted load in the washer before starting.
See page 12 for additional “Before you wash”
information.

Selecting a load size
Position the Load Size Selector at the setting
that corresponds to the size load you want to
wash. Select a load size based upon the size
of the load and the fabric you are washing.
See page 12 for additional loading information.
To change the load size setting after the
washer has started to fill, move the Selector to
the desired new setting.
Load size tips
l
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.
l
Use a large load size setting for best results
with permanent press clothes.
l
Reduce wash time when using small load
size settings. Loads with only a few small
items need less wash time.
Selecting wash-rinse temperatures
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.
NOTE: The Regular cycle features all cold
rinses.
Water temperature tips
l
Use warm wash water with the Permanent
Press and Knits/Gentle cycles.
l
Always use cold rinse water for permanent
press fabrics.
l
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.
Selecting a cycle and time
You will find information you need to help you
make correct cycle selections in this section.
