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.
Selecting wash-rinse temperatures
Match the water temperature to the type of
fabric and soils being washed. The top tempera­
ture is the wash water and the bottom tempera­
ture is the rinse water.
Water temperature tips
• Use warm wash water with the Permanent
Press and Délicates 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.
