Understanding your Washer
This automatic washer has five
cycles. Each is designed for a fabric
type.
The washer has a LOAD SIZE
SELECTOR that lets you adjust the water
level to match the size of the load.
It has a TEMPERATURE SELECTOR.
You can select the wash water temperature best for the amount of soil and
fabric type in each load.
Sections in this Use & Core Guide
go into detail on the “what and why”
of each setting, Read this and the Loundry Guide carefully to get the best
cleaning results.
MAGIC CLEAN@
lint filter
l
The lint filter on your washer is selfcleaning and operates at all water
levels It filters the water used in your
washer during the wash and deep rinse.
The filter is cleaned automatically dur-
ing the drain periods and the lint or fuzz
collected in it is carried away.
l
If your washer drains into a laundry
tub, check the drain strainer for lint
accumulation after washing a linty type
load. A lint accumulation may prevent
proper drainage and cause the tub
to overflow.
