Using the Controls – Four-Speed Models
Select Water Level
Determine the selected setting based on clothes load
size. On select models, the infinite control allows you to
select a specific setting or anywhere in between.
It may become necessary, due to bulky fabrics, to
adjust the water level after agitation begins. To adjust
the water level, turn the control to reset and then back
to the desired setting.
Select Wash/Rinse Temperature
Your washer gives you a choice of hot, warm or cold
water for washing and cold or warm water for rinsing.
Use the chart below as a guide.
Automatic Temperature Control provides the optimal
wash water temperature for cleaning. To save energy,
this washer will regulate wash water temperatures by
mixing hot and cold water to reach the proper water
temperature.
