OPERATING YOUR WASHER
Load size tips
• 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.
• Use a large load size setting for best results
with permanent press clothes.
• Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few small
items need less wash time.
Settings may vary with model
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.
Water temperature tips
• Use warm wash water with the Permanent
Press and Short cycles.
• Always use cold rinse water for permanent
press fabrics.
• For heavily soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, prewash or presoak before washing in
warm water.
See the “Water usage guide” on page 15 for
more information.
