• Turn the knob to point at a setting
that describes the size of load you
want to wash.
• The water level can be set for
EX SMALL (a few items), MED or
LARGE (a full load).
NOTE: Use the LARGE water level
for best permanent press results.
• Match the wash and rinse water
temperature to the type of fabrics and
soils being washed.
• All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save
energy and help prevent wrinkles from
setting into fabrics.
Recommended wash temperatures
can be found in your "Laundry Guide."
IMPORTANT: Use warm water
with the PERMT PRESS or SHORT
cycles. For heavily soiled
permanent press or knit
clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak
before washing in warm wafer.
LOAD SIZES AND WATER LEVELS
For best cleaning results, the
load must be able to move freely
in the water. Too big a load or too
little water can cause wear or
tearing of load items.
