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.
Fabric Type Agitate/Spin Speed
Regular Normal/Fast
Perm Press Normal/Fast
Knits Gentle/Fast
Delicates / Washable woolens Gentle/Slow
Hand washables Ultra Slow/Slow
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.
Automatic Wash Temperature
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 an Automatic
Wash Temperature to regulate the temperature of the
warm and cold wash water in any cycle.
Wash water in the Automatic Warm/Cold and
Automatic Warm/Warm settings is regulated to
approximately 90° F. and the wash water in the
Automatic Cold/Cold setting is regulated to
approximately 70° F. Rinse water temperatures are not
regulated.
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.
