HIGH WATER LEVEL. The washer will
automatically fill to its highest level...
about 20.5 gallons (77.6 L)... when
the Control Knob points to a "fill"
area or anywhere in the SOAK Cycle.
Be careful to use enough water
forthe load. Too big a load or
too little water can result in
a wash that isn't clean; some
items can be torn.
For best results, the load should
move freely in the water. Watch
for rollover. An item (like a sock)
should sink and come up again
later.

SHORT Cycle, or 2 to 22 minutes in the
